It’s not Prime Day, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t deals to be had!
Periodically Amazon will partner up with the big credit card issuers to offer 20%, 30%, 40%, or even 50% off your Amazon purchase by checking out with a certain number of points applied to the payment.
Not everyone qualifies for these deals, but we’ve included direct links to the deal pages to see if you do. All you have to do is click! If you see the “activate now” button, you’re eligible. If the page is blank, you aren’t eligible 😒
Once you’re finished activating those deals, read on to learn about other strategies to earn bigger cash back from Amazon (and other online shopping) going forward.
Direct Links to Check your Eligibility
This is the easy part.
Simply click each of the following links to see if you’re eligible for the points-discount deals.
Each of the major card issuers has a relationship with Amazon that allows you to use your points to offset the cost of your purchases. It’s almost never a good idea to use points this way as the value is extremely low, but if you’re targeted for one of their special promo offers it can be a great deal. Click through each issuer below to see if your account is targeted, and let us know in the comments what kinds of discounts you’re getting!
***If you’re seeing a blank page after clicking, it means you’re not eligible for this targeted offer***
- Chase: Click here to see if you’re targeted.
- American Express: Click here to see if you’re targeted.
- Capital One: Click here to see if you’re targeted.
- Discover: Click here to see if you’re targeted.

Other Easy Ways to Earn Cash Back on Online Shopping
The following section outlines a few clicks and signups we recommend you check out to maximize your discounts and cash back on upcoming Amazon and other online purchases.
Let’s dig in:
- TopCashBack Shopping Portal – This portal is similar to the Rakuten shopping portal that you know and love, except is offers different merchants for you to earn cash back with. Lucky for us, one of those merchants is Amazon, and at their historic highs, their cash back amount was up to 8% back!
- Rakuten Shopping Portal – This one is covered extensively in our other article below, but the jist is that it’s another very lucrative shopping portal that’ll help you earn either cash back or Amex Membership Rewards points for your everyday purchases.
- Review Offers and Account Coupons – This last step will require a little more work on your end, but it completely optional. Log into each of your credit or debit card accounts and check the Offers, Promos, Discounts, or Coupons sections to see if you have eligible Amazon offers to apply. Doing so could save you a few more bucks on your purchases.
Getting to the Point
There are a TON of opportunities to earn cash back (or points!) for all of your everyday shopping, so keep this page bookmarked to check your eligibility often!
