For Prime Day, Amazon has a good sale on Fire tablets. In my opinion, the best deal is the Fire HD 8 for just $19.99. You can order up to 5 of each color of each tablet model at this price, which is a great deal if you have a need for an inexpensive tablet or two, whether to buy for yourself or as gifts.
The Deal
- Sale on Fire Tablets – by stacking two deals, get the Fire HD 8 for $19.99 or others as shown below. Apply at least one American Express Membership Rewards point OR apply at least one Citi ThankYou point (click here to see if you are targeted for that promo and click the “click to activate” buttons if you intend to use ThankYou points instead) and add the coupon codes below to get these prices
- Fire 7 Tablet with Alexa for $9.99 with coupon code axpfiretab7
- Fire HD 8 with Alexa for $19.99 with coupon code axpfiretab8
- Fire HD 10 Tablet with Alexa Hands-Free for $69.99 with coupon code axpfiretab10
Key Terms
- Coupon codes may be targeted

per colorper model per customer (in other words, if the Fire HD 8 is available in 3 colors, you can buy up to 15 total of that model — 5 of each color — and also buy Fire 7’s or Fire HD 10’s). Shawn in the comments reports this only working with 5 per model, not per color. - Must use at least one point to purchase (note: only works with American Express Membership Rewards or Citi ThankYou points if targeted)
Quick Thoughts
All of the above are great deals compared to the normal prices on these tablets. I think the Fire HD 8 is the best deal of the bunch, though the total discount on the Fire HD 10 is larger if you’re looking for a bit more real estate on your tablet.
Late last year, I posted about a similar deal (See: Can I interest you in 40 Amazon Fire tablets?). I was eventually able to resell all of the tablets I bought (I didn’t quite buy 40) for a profit — except for the couple that I gave as gifts to my parents and in-laws (both of whom have been very happy with the Fire HD 8). Five of the Fire HD 8’s come to $100 with this sale.
If you’re looking for a cheap tablet or five, this is a solid deal – I think it’s hard to go wrong at $20 and I think the upgrades of the 8 over the 7 are likely worth the extra ten bucks for most people.
I’m adding a link to this deal to our master list of today’s Prime Day Deals – not just Amazon.

Has anyone been successful using Citi and do you have to be targeted for AmEx points? Haven’t been able to get either to work.
See three comments above yours — Yuri said it works for both Citi and Amex (so you can do the deal twice). That said, both offers are targeted — widely available, but somewhat targeted.
I see. Just unlucky with this one, I suppose.
You clearly don’t live in California where they tack on $5 per device for a recycling fee. Usually doesn’t matter but thats a 50% increase in price for the fire 7, haha 🙂
Doesn’t work for multiple colors, but works for Citi and Amex (twice)
Good to know – thanks!
Only let me buy 5 of one color and not 15 total. I wonder if anything has changed in the past hour or so. Did you get it to work?
I didn’t buy that many myself this time around, but I understood it to be working with 5 per color. I’ll update – thanks.
Same here. 5 of one color only. Can’t apply the discount code to other colors or other versions of the same model (16 vs 32 GB versions, for example).
