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.

    Citi is an MMS advertising partner.

    Trying to maximize savings during all of the crazy holiday sales? Here’s an easy way to save an extra $20 on your next Amazon order.

    Some Amazon accounts are being targeted with an offer to save $20 on a purchase of $50 or more when using just a single Citi ThankYou point.

    Amazon Citi ThankYou point promotion

    You’ll need to have an eligible Citi ThankYou-point earning credit card registered with Amazon Shop with points to qualify for the deal. The promotion is available for purchases made through Dec. 31, 2020.

    You can see if you qualify for the offer and activate it here.

    Make sure to add it to your card quickly as the promotion does have a redemption cap and may not be around for as long as advertised.

    Once you’ve activated the promotion, shop like you normally would. During checkout, choose your Citi ThankYou-point-earning credit card as your payment method and choose to apply points, but make sure you enter “.01” in the box to use just one point.

    Just like with the other Amazon credit card deals with Chase, Amex and Discover, only items sold and shipped by Amazon (and not by a third-party seller) will qualify and digital content doesn’t count. That being said, you should be able to apply this discount to almost everything else found on Amazon.

    One of the best parts of this deal is that you can use it to save on many third-party gift cards sold by Amazon, think Whole Foods, Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, Best Buy, Uber Eats and more. So even if you don’t have anything to buy from Amazon right now, it could make sense to stock up on gift cards before the deal goes away.

    It’s important that you use no more than one ThankYou point when checking out. That’s because after you’ve triggered the initial $20 discount, using Citi ThankYou points to cover any more of the Amazon order becomes an extremely bad deal. You’ll get way more value when redeeming ThankYou points for travel.

    Read this article for step by step instructions to make sure you don’t accidentally spend all your points at Amazon with this deal.

    Citi cards that earn ThankYou points

    Here are the best Citi cards with which you can earn Citi ThankYou points:

    And if you have any of the cards above, you can convert the rewards you earn with the Citi® Double Cash Card to ThankYou points, too.

    The information for Citi Prestige card and Citi Double Cash Card has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

    Bottom Line

    Using credit card points for Amazon orders is usually a bad deal, but with these promotions, you can get big value when using just one point (Amex currently has a similar deal). It’s really a no brainer if you have any extra ThankYou points lying around.
