Check your Amex Offers: Amazon bonus points are back for some cardmembers
The cards we feature here are from partners who compensate us when you are approved through our site, and this may impact how or where these products appear. We don’t cover all available credit cards, but our analysis, reviews, and opinions are entirely from our editorial team. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Please view our advertising policy and product review methodology for more information.

American Express recently introduced a new set of Amex Offers for targeted cardholders on eligible Amazon purchases. In this latest round of offers, some cardholders can earn an enticing bonus of up to 3,600 Membership Rewards points on Amazon purchases.

If you have one of these offers, you can earn bonus points by making Amazon purchases with an enrolled card between now and Dec. 31.

TPG Senior Writer Katie Genter found an offer on The Business Platinum Card® from American Express for 1,200 additional Amex Membership Rewards points when she spends a minimum of $150 on one or more Amazon purchases, with a limit of 3,600 points total.

AMERICAN EXPRESS

The 3,600-point cap means the offer only applies to up to $450 in spending. If you max it out, you'll enjoy $72 in additional value through this offer based on TPG's November 2024 valuation of Amex Membership Rewards points.

The Amex Business Platinum card earns 1 Amex Membership Rewards point per dollar spent on most purchases (except for certain travel and business-related categories, which earn more). With an additional 12 points per dollar, you'd earn up to 13 points per dollar.

TPG Credit Cards Editor Emily Thompson found the same offer on her American Express® Gold Card. TPG Associate Credit Cards Writer Augusta Stone had an offer for 500 Membership Rewards points after spending a minimum of $50 on one or more purchases, up to 1,500 total Membership Rewards points. Her bonus offer is worth up to $30, according to our valuations.

As always with targeted offers, eligibility can vary from card to card and member to member. It's worth checking all of your Amex accounts to see if this Amazon offer is available to you.

At the same time, you should also check if you're eligible for up to 50% off your next Amazon purchase when you redeem at least 1 Membership Rewards point.

If you have one of these offers, taking advantage of it is a great way to maximize your earnings on a platform where many of us make everyday purchases.
