There’s a new widely targeted Amex Offer out today that’s good for 1,200 American Express Membership Rewards points after spending $150 or more at Amazon.com (enrollment required). Even better, the deal can be repeated for up to 3,600 total bonus points. That works out to 8 points per dollar on top of the rewards ordinarily earned on the card to which you sync it, which is a nice deal if you’re shopping at Amazon before the end of the year.
Update: There are different targeted versions of this offer. See under “The Deal” below for examples of what readers have reported so far.

Quick Thoughts
This is a nice offer for additional bonus points that stack on top of what you’ll already earn with your given card. I see that a couple of shopping portals still list cash back on specific categories (mostly Amazon devices) and that should stack on top of this card-linked offer.
Given that I’m sure we’ll see some great deals from Amazon in the coming weeks and that I’m sure this offer will be popular, I’d recommend syncing it up sooner rather than later so you’re ready when you see the deal you want.

Can you spend $20 then $130 to get the bonus of 1200 MRs
Data point: For the “Spend $150, earn 1,200 Membership Rewards points up to 3 times” offer, I reloaded my Amazon gift card balance with $450 in one transaction and received 3,600 points.
So as an Amazon Business account holder, this does not apply? DRAT!
i used the BBP on my Amazon biz account on 11/14, points posted on the 15th.
Will groceries ordered through Amazon (Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods) count?
I could be missing something here, but didn’t ebay drop American Express as a way to pay August 17, 2024?
That was ebay.
Can you do the x3 all on one purchase?
Yes
I hope that works, unclear to me
Yes I got this offer and reloaded my balance at the maximum amount ($150) and received all 1,500 points the next day.
It looks like gift cards aside from corporate or custom are covered as well? If that’s the case I’m just going to buy the maximum now in GC so my P2 doesn’t accidentally spend on the wrong card…
Spend $150 get 1200 MR was available for any MR earning card, able to load it to a BBP still in the SUB period.
Got the offer you mentioned on my cards as well as P2. Was able to add them to our accounts. Thanks for spotting this since not sure how long it will stick around.
Where do you look to see if you are targeted – email or the AmEx site?
Amex Offers are always on the Amex site under your card.
Thank you. I’ll look now.
I got spend $50 get 500 3x
Got the same. I’d prefer more MR, but in terms of % return on spend, this is technically the “best” one.
I got spend $400 earn 2000 MR up to three times
me too
I got the offer to spend $4000 for 2000MR, so that’s 5x earnings. But I don’t know if I need to spend the $400 in one purchase or if I can do multiple purchases over time.
Got the same on my Gold — says “one or more purchases” so it should be an easy 2,000 points: Earn 2,000 additional Membership Rewards® points after using your enrolled eligible Card to spend a minimum of $400 in one or more purchases online
Terms clearly say “in one or more purchases”.
Thanks!
Can I just reload my gift card balance with $450?
I don’t see anything int he terms to indicate that you can’t. That would be pretty easy to test with a $150 load.
DP: It worked. Unless you accidentally charged it to the card without the offer the first time… *face palm*
did you already get your bonus points?
Yes
Can you just do 3 consecutive loads of $150 each right in a row or should you wait a day etc
I bet one $450 would work, but would do 3 $150s to be safe. I doubt you need to wait a day
I got spend $50 get 500 points up to 3X.
I got this one as well
how fast did your 500 bonus points post? I did a $50 amazon reload about 10 days ago and don’t see any bonus points.
