Amazon Amex Back to School Promotion

Amazon is having a nice promotion for Amex cardholders where you can get up to 40% off back to school merchandise when using points. Let’s take a look.

The Offer

How It Works

  • Click on the “Activate now” button to activate this promotion and apply points to your next order. You MUST click on the button to receive promotion credit
  • Add $50 or more worth of ‘Ready for School’ promotion eligible products, sold and shipped by Amazon.com to your shopping cart. More details below.
  • Membership Rewards points will be temporarily set as your payment method at checkout. To redeem this offer, you must use Membership Rewards points for at least a portion of your order.

Product Categories

According to the promotional page the following categories of items should qualify. Make sure to head to the original offer page to activate the promo first.

Discover Cardholders Can Save $10 on Amazon Purchases

Need to Know

If you plan to take advantage of this promotion you can get a wide variety of merchandise including electronics like Kindles at a great discount. You are required to use at least 1 point, but can pay with a credit card or Amazon credit otherwise. I would recommend only using 1 point since the redemption rate isn’t the best.

  1. Is there any way to see what’s for sale in the typical Amazon view, with all the optional filters and sorting? For example, I was looking at the educational toys and they just have randomly mixed older kid science stuff with baby stuff.

    • I believe once you activate the promo you can browse the included categories via the main Amazon site and sort that way. For example I knew Kindles were included so I searched Kindle which gave me all of the normal Amazon search sorting, etc.
