Quick Thoughts
In order to take advantage of this promotion, you will need to have an American Express card that earns Membership Rewards linked to your account with the ability to pay with points enabled. You do not want to pay entirely with points as the value is not good — just use 1 point for $0.01. As was the case the last time they ran this promotion, it is even working on third party gift cards.
Of course, it’ll also work with merchandise. Last time around, there were some amazing deals possible. It’s worth hunting around to see what is possible this time.

Does anyone know if you can use this promo multiple times? For instance, make one purchase today for $100, get $20 discount by using 1 MR point. Can I then make another purchase tomorrow and get the discount by using 1 MR point (presuming the promo hasn’t been shut down by Amazon yet)?
Reports indicate yes. Up to the max of $100 off can be split over multiple transactions.
