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.

How to save big on Amazon Prime Day by using Pay with Points discounts

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

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

    Did you know that the best travel credit cards can simultaneously be the best credit cards for online shopping?

    You can redeem flexible points such as Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, and Citi ThankYou points on Amazon to offset your final bill. This is almost always a horrendous idea, because your points are worth far less than you can get if you spend them on travel (check out our Guides page to learn the best ways to use your points). You’ll typically get between 0.6 and 1 cent each for your points when you redeem them for Amazon purchases.

    However, now and again a super valuable promotion will appear that can make just a single point worth $50+! And there are a few great offers like that right now. This pairs fantastically with Amazon Prime Day, Oct. 13-14, 2020. That’s now, FYI.

    Here’s how to save even more with Amazon Prime Day if you’ve got Chase, Amex, or Citi credit cards.

    Amazon Prime Day is finally here!

    Combine these Amazon Pay With Points promos with Amazon Prime Day

    Amazon Prime Day is an exclusive holiday of sorts for Amazon Prime account holders. If you’re one of the many looking for great deals today and tomorrow, the following strategies will help you save significantly more.

    To activate some of the below offers, you may have to connect your Chase, Amex or Citi accounts to Amazon before seeing the shop with points deals.

    Citi

    When you add $50+ to your Amazon shopping cart, you will receive a $20 discount by paying in part with Citi ThankYou points. Click here to activate the deal.

    Even if you apply just a single point to your order and pay the rest with cash, you’ll trigger this deal. That means one Citi ThankYou point is worth $20! There are some quirks you should be aware of, however:

    You can earn Citi ThankYou points quickly with cards like the Citi Premier® Card and Citi Prestige® Card.

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

    American Express

    American Express is targeting shoppers to use just one Amex Membership Rewards point and receive up to $50 off your Amazon order. You may try clicking here to see if you’re eligible — but you’ll likely find these deals as ads at checkout instead of the promotion landing page.

    There are a few targeted deals — here’s what we (or our fellow points bloggers) have seen:

    If you’re targeted, simply use just one Amex Membership Rewards point at checkout, and the savings should be immediate. This promotion makes one Amex point worth up to $50!

    You can earn Amex points with credit cards like the American Express® Gold Card and The Platinum Card® from American Express.

    Chase

    If you’ve got a Chase Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Card or an Amazon Prime Store Card, you’re eligible for up to 25% off many items that are already heavily discounted. You can click here for the details, but here’s what you need to know:

    You can even receive 25% back on video games and related gift cards. Click here for the details.

    Additionally, you can use one Chase Ultimate Rewards point to save $15 on a purchase of $50 or more at Amazon. Ultimate Rewards points are earned from products like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card and the Chase Sapphire Reserve®. You can click here to activate the offer.

    The information for the Amazon Prime Rewards Visa and Amazon Prime Store 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

    Amazon Prime Day offers some ridiculous discounts. And if you know how to stack miles and points deals, you can dramatically lower your bill even further. If you’ve got at least one Citi ThankYou point, Chase Ultimate Rewards point or Amex Membership Reward point, you could save up to $50 at checkout!
