(EXPIRED) Save on Amazon purchases when redeeming 1 Discover point (targeted)

Every so often, Amazon offers targeted discounts when redeeming at least one bank point, such as 1 Chase Ultimate Rewards point, 1 Amex Membership Rewards point, etc.

A couple of those offers have returned. This time, if you’re targeted, you can save $10 on a $75+ order when redeeming 1 Discover point or get 30% off, up to a maximum of $15.

Quick Thoughts

There are often variations of these ‘redeem 1 point’ offers. My wife and I were both targeted for this offer, which gives $10 off a $75 spend, but there might be other versions, so it’s worth verifying the terms if you are targeted.

If you’ve never enrolled in the ability to redeem Discover points on your Amazon orders, you’ll need to do that first before trying to see if you’re targeted. Even if you’re not immediately showing as targeted after enrolling, check a few days later, as there can sometimes be a lag.

Something important to be aware of with these types of offers is that the items must be shipped and sold by Amazon. Given the abundance of third-party sellers on the site, it might mean that the items you want to buy aren’t eligible for the discount.

One of the easiest ways to take advantage of this type of offer is to buy a third-party gift card sold by Amazon. Those are both sold by and shipped by Amazon, and so you can take advantage of the discount when redeeming a Discover point. Amazon gift cards themselves aren’t eligible, but third-party brands are.

Although it’s less of an issue when redeeming Discover points than when redeeming transferable bank points, it’s still worth redeeming only one point at checkout rather than redeeming Discover Cashback Bonus for your entire order.
