We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Update:   One or more card offers in this post are no longer available.  Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    Capital One miles just became a whole lot more valuable. If you have at least 1 Capital One mile from swiping a Capital One credit card, you can save $20 on your next qualifying Amazon purchase. Even a casual Amazon shopper should have no problem taking advantage of this discount.

    Amazon will occasionally partner with flexible points programs like Chase Ultimate Rewards and Amex Membership Rewards to provide ultra-low-hanging fruit for their customers in the form of substantial discounts. MMS readers love these deals, so we write about them whenever we see them. You can subscribe to our newsletter to be notified about promos like these (and way better ones, too) in the future.

    $20 off Amazon with 1 Capital One mile

    You can earn Capital One miles from the following credit cards:

    The information for the Capital One Spark Miles and Capital One Spark Miles Select has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

    Capital One allows you to redeem your miles on Amazon at a rate of 0.8 cents each. You can make purchases with a mix of rewards and cash, as well. For example, if you had $100 worth of items in your cart, you could:

    Using Capital One miles through through Amazon is usually a horrendous deal — you should never do it. Capital One miles are worth at least 1 cent each towards travel, so you’re much better served using them for those purchases. They can be worth even more when transferring to airline or hotel partners.

    However, this current promotion is a stark exception: Through September 30, 2020, you’ll get $20 back on a purchase of $80 or more if you use at least 1 Capital One mile as part of your purchase. In other words, 1 Capital One mile is effectively worth $20 at Amazon. It appears that you can use the discount when purchasing third party-gift cards through Amazon for merchants like Whole Foods, Safeway, Starbucks and Southwest Airlines.

    To use this promotion, you must first have your Capital One card enrolled in the Shop With Points feature on Amazon. You can enroll your card through this link. Once you’re enrolled, click this promotional link to activate the deal on your account. Make sure to use just 1 mile when checking out — if you use anymore than that you’ll be redeeming them at the standard rate of 0.8 cents.

    Once clicking on the promotional link, it may appear that your account doesn’t qualify. Frequent Miler notes that you should try deleting your Capital One card as a payment option and then adding it right back. The offer should become available in your account shortly. Just check back in a few days.
