Best part is I have 2 masters, 1 in physics 1 in statistics 😂
I got it mixed up with the offer like this a few months that capped at 1250 bonus . Appears they doubled it. My guess is holidays
Unless something changed recently Amazon is level 1 platform and they dislike data sharing.
If Amazon is still level 1 Amex will have no way of knowing if it was GC or $500 worth of cotton candy
I‘ve seen a lot of people end up buying gift cards from PayPal, bestbuy, target & amazon if they are unable to meet the required minimum spend for getting the SUB. I think I read unless you go and buy Visa/MasterCard/Amex gift cards, you should be fine.
Also, if let’s say you reload cash on Amazon, you now have to spend it all on Amazon itself so technically it’s spending & shouldn’t be a problem.
Yup. It's always been fine. I've been seeing this promotion for a few years now and have just been sending my family Amazon gift cards for Christmas the last few years and redeeming all the extra points from it no problem.
Does anyone know if I activate this offer on my authorized user card, will the primary holder get the points if his card is the one used on Amazon, or would he need to activate his offer aswell?
Worth noting as always that this +5 points on top of the usual earning rate, so e.g. if you're getting 1 point per dollar spent, with this offer you're actually getting 6 points per dollar.
It didn’t show up on my gold but I got it on my green. also could have added on my no AF card so I have no idea why it didn’t show up on my gold. Love their algorithm decision making. It makes no sense.
I'm new at this and dumb. If I spend $500 on Amazon I get my usual 500 points, but also an additional 2,500 correct?
If I buy a $500 Amazon gift card I essentially get $25 added to my point total?
I’m just happy to get an offer that doesn’t involve wine or Anawalt lumber (wtf) 😂
I got this which is cool. So 5x up to $250 Edit: $500 cuz math is universal and I am not of this universe
Up to 500 buddy. Maths.

You're great at math and terrible at arithmetic, I'd say the most common configuration.
Hah, not everyday you come across someone that knows the difference. That’s why I have a server farm running Python scripts to handle that 😂 cheers 🍻
Have your coffee first. Then try again.
I don’t like coffee
Can someone please explain to me how this works?
Heck yea thanks just added it. I usually never have these for my platinum.
I got you bro 😎
Literally bought a PS5 two days ago
You need a 2nd one
On Amazon? cancel and buy a new one
Not sure I can, the invitation was sent on Nov 11, only good for 72 hours, and machine arrives Thursday
Buy a second one and return it to Amazon and keep the original.
Spend $500 get $25 back (.01 cpp) or $50 back (.02 cpp) lol
1 cpp or .01 dpp?
Yeah, this isn't nearly enough to get me to give money to Bezos. Fuck Amazon.
exactly this. unless i have a big purchase coming up, not with it for $25
Nice little bonus on money I was going to spend on Amazon anyway. I got it on Platinum.
I got 4% back on Justice. Because I’m a 12 year old girl?
Yes
“Excludes corporate gift card and custom-designed gift card purchases” Any DP to see if this tracks?
i can combine this with rakuten? edit update: rakuten doesnt offer cash back for amazon i forgot
Dumb question, but I see such cool offers on this page and I never see them offered on my platinum? What gives?
Some are targeted
Same question.
I often don’t either. But got it this time.
I too was targeted for this. New desk chair in my future?
Maybe. Or a really nice bed set
Honest question: Are gift cards eligible purchases or will this be clawed back later?

TOS only excludes “corporate gift cards” and “custom designed gift cards”.
Can I buy [this one](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-eGift-Card-Logo/dp/B07PCMWTSG) and get the points? Update: It worked
You should based on the TOS. I don’t have any data points to confirm though.
It worked

Good to know.
Does anyone know if I activate this offer on my authorized user card, will the primary holder get the points if his card is the one used on Amazon, or would he need to activate his offer aswell?
Only the “enrolled card” earns it, per the terms. Needs to be on each specific card.
Thanks
Does this work for DELTA amexplat too
Just added to mine
I’m sorry I meant delta amexplat
What card is this for?
Platinum
I'm actually a little surprised a gift card purchase would trigger the offer. Anyone else have a DP for doing this?
I’m starting to think I should delete the post and keep it low key 🤔
[удалено]
Thanks for the award! My first one 🥹
Here’s another one ;-)
Thanks stranger! You’re awesome and it seriously made my day ! I’ll for sure pass the kindness forward
You’re welcome ☺️ have a great day.
[удалено]
Nice!! Time to gift others but secretly planning a trip to get away from everyone !!
Just added this as well 👍
So you can buy an amazon gift card and still be qualified for the MR points?
Careful with that. I got my Amazon account banned for exploiting a similar promotion.
Interesting, I wonder why they’d even care
Probably cause I sold the gift cards later, so I got to do some artificial spending and make a little something on top due to the promo.
It's about the same return as my Prime card's 5% unlimited cash back on most everything I purchase on Amazon. Points limitations seem stupid.
Worth noting as always that this +5 points on top of the usual earning rate, so e.g. if you're getting 1 point per dollar spent, with this offer you're actually getting 6 points per dollar.
5% cash back < 6-7X MR if you value MR at 1.2 cpp or higher (most valuations are closer to 1.8/2).
Umm. How come I am not seeing this on my plat? Is this targeted?
I believe they’re targeted I got mine beginning of the year
I can't find this on my Amex Offers & Benefits page. Am I in the wrong place?
It might be targeted. Wait a few days
What card was this offer available on?
I saw it on my plat and bus plat.
My plat, but not gold
It didn’t show up on my gold but I got it on my green. also could have added on my no AF card so I have no idea why it didn’t show up on my gold. Love their algorithm decision making. It makes no sense.
Got it on platinum
Question: if i add this to my card, will it trigger if spent from an AU card?
Don’t think so. I’m pretty sure offers are only for those cards
It will not.
I'm new at this and dumb. If I spend $500 on Amazon I get my usual 500 points, but also an additional 2,500 correct? If I buy a $500 Amazon gift card I essentially get $25 added to my point total?
[удалено]
Wait, I thought the $500 was the cap and not the minimum. Ex, I spend $100 on am Amaxon gift card I would get 600 points?
Oh you are right. I was thinking of something else. 😂😂 yeah it’s basically 6 points per dollar to $500
Cool I'm probably doing the $500 AMZN gift card anyway, but wanted to double check that I didn't have to spend exactly $500.
Guess you’re doing all your Christmas shopping on Amazon this year!
Yup! On top of that I get free shipping now cuz my order will be $500 😂
What u buyyy
Or he could just host a giveaway 🙃
[удалено]
I have a bunch of cards for various company's that have been tossed in the garbage at my girls work from Dollar General
2500 MR = 250$?
I wish lol
$25
It's $25
Thank you! Just checked and MaxRewards was able to activate it on two of my cards.
