The best Amex Amazon offer consists of savings up to 50% off (up to set thresholds) on Amazon purchases made with American Express Membership Rewards points. Your American Express card must be linked with Shop with Points on your Amazon account. This offer is only available through December 31st, 2021. Keep in mind that this is a targeted offer, so not all cardholders will be eligible.

Outside of this limited-time offer, any Amex card that offers Membership Rewards points allows you to use those points directly on Amazon. Since points are only worth 0.7 cents each when redeemed this way, there are better redemption options available.

You should also watch the Amex Offers section of your online account in case there are any other special deals for spending a certain amount at Amazon.

Tips for Maximizing the Value of American Express Points

Redeem Points for Travel.

American Express points are worth the most when redeemed for travel.

Redeem American Express points regularly.

American Express points do not expire due to account inactivity, but stockpiling points does put you at risk of rewards devaluation. Plus, you won't get to enjoy the fruits of your spending if you don't redeem.

Keep your account in good standing.

If American Express closes your account because of a failure to pay the bill or fraudulent activity, you'll lose any unredeemed points you have saved. And if you pay late, you might have to pay a fee to get back the points from that billing period.

Redeem before closing your account.

Any points you don't redeem before closing your account will be lost, unless you keep another American Express credit card account open.
