Quick Thoughts

This is a great deal particularly since Prime Day is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday and with it we will surely see a plethora of good deals at Amazon. Stacking this for an extra twenty bucks off will surely make for a great deal at 40% off. Note that this deal does of course work on third party gift cards, though I’ll probably look to use it on stuff on Monday or Tuesday.

One word of caution to repeat: note that this will set your preference to ThankYou points at checkout. Remember that you only want to use 1 Citi ThankYou point since you otherwise get awful value for paying with points at checkout. In my household, my wife and I mostly use the same Amazon account. I made sure to tell her about this deal before she accidentally placed an Amazon order and checked out paying with ThankYou points. One time previously I did not mention it and she caught it just before completing her (expensive) order. I’d not be happy to use a boatload of points in a bit order by mistake, so be sure to use this or alert anyone in your household who orders from the same account.
