Over Black Friday we saw Chase and American Express offer up essentially free money to anyone making a purchase. The American Express offer was really generous, offering up to 20% off or $100 maximum back on purchases up to $500. The American Express offer is unfortunately done. If you’re still holiday shopping, you can still use the Chase Offer for up to $15 off your order of $60 or more. The Chase offer was originally set to end today but it has been extended until January 27, 2019 or when 104,666 offers have been redeemed, so act sooner than later.
Chase Offer
You must use 1 Chase Ultimate Rewards point and get $15 back on your purchase of $60. You must spend $60 minimum for the promotion to kick in. That is a 25% savings! The same concept applies as with the American Express offer. You will need to make sure you Chase and Amazon accounts are linked. You can link your eligible chase card to your amazon account with this link.
*Update: Based off some user submissions you may not be able to link you accounts temporarily. You only need to visit this link if your Chase Ultimate Rewards Account is not linked to you Amazon account already. To activate the offer use the link below.
Not all members are eligible for this promotion. 24 hours after linking my account, I became eligible for the promotion, be sure to check back.
The Process
Activate the offer by clicking the “Click to activate” button on this page.
Add whatever eligible items you want to your shopping cart and head to the check out screen. Eligible items include anything sold by Amazon directly except for Visa and Amazon.com gift cards.
At check out you must use at least one Chase Ultimate Rewards point for your purchase. I recommend only using 1 point as Amazon only redeems points for around 1 cent per point and you can easily get higher value by transferring miles to airlines instead.
Make sure you don’t accidentally pay for your entire purchase with points, as that would lead to a really bad deal. Your final cart should look similar to below.
Who Should take advantage of this offer?
Every one eligible should take advantage of this offer. Even if there isn’t anything you need to buy on amazon, you can purchase 3rd party vendor gift cards with the credit. Amazon sells gift cards for Hotels.com, Southwest Airlines, AirBnB, Whole Foods and more.
Savings like this don’t come around often, so what are you waiting for?
