Amazon customers can get 20% off of their next order when they use just one Discover point. It works on gift cards too! See if you’re targeted for this offer below!

How do I check if I’m targeted?

The link will bring you to the activation screen. The offer WON’T show up until you add a Discover card as a payment option and link your Discover Cashback Bonus point rewards account to Amazon. If you haven’t done this, go to the next sections in this post where I’ll show you how.

How do I link my Discover Cashback Point account to Amazon?

Linking Amazon to Discover Cashback Bonus

When you are going through this process, be sure to select no when Amazon asks you if you want to use your points as the default payment for future purchases.

I wouldn’t recommend using your Discover Cashback Bonus points at Amazon since the redemption value is not great, but for this specific promotion you only need to use 1 Discover point to get the 20% discount.

What other details do I need to know?

The most important one to remember is that the items need to be sold AND shipped by Amazon. How can you tell?

Chances are that the item is shipped by Amazon if it offers Prime Delivery, but it still could be sold by a third-party seller. To check that Amazon is selling and shipping it, check for this statement near the price tag. Here’s an example where you can find it:

Here’s the terms and conditions… all of them if you’re bored:

  • The promotion will end on the earlier of (a) 11:59 PT on 06/30/2020 (although the promotion ended, it still works using the link I provided), or (b) the time at which offers worth $2,000,000 have been redeemed.
  • Offer applies only to the purchase where Cashback Bonus are used for at least a portion of the purchase and the promotion code is applied at checkout.

  • Offer does not apply to purchase of digital content.
  • If any of the products related to your original order are returned, subject to Amazon’s refund policy, you will receive a refund of the amount charged to your card first, followed by Cashback Bonus.

  • This promotion is available only to Amazon.com customers with an eligible Cashback Bonus card issued in United States.

The Bottom Line

Worked for me too, but I made a small mistake. I didn’t read the part where you said it has to be shipped and sold by Amazon. I bought $250 worth of stuff, but only $200 of it was from Amazon. Saved $40 instead of $50.
