American Express has 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 5 extra Membership Rewards points per dollar spent on Amazon.
TPG director of content Nick Ewen found the offer on The Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express, while director of travel content Summer Hull found it on her Amex EveryDay® Preferred Credit Card from American Express. If you have the same offer, you must make Amazon purchases with an enrolled card between now and Aug. 21, 2023, to get the extra points.
The information for the Amex EveryDay Preferred has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
Note that the offer is capped at 1,000 bonus points, which means it applies on up to $200 in spending. If you max it out, you’ll enjoy $20 in additional value through this offer based on TPG’s valuations of Amex Membership Rewards points (in addition to the standard earning rate on your card).
As an example, the Blue Business card earns 2 Amex Membership Rewards points per dollar on the first $50,000 in purchases each calendar year (then 1 point per dollar), so with an additional 5 points per dollar, you’d earn up to 7 points per dollar. That’s a 14% return on Amazon purchases at our valuations.
While you should read the full terms of the offer in your account, they’re generally only valid for purchases made at Amazon.com and via the U.S. Amazon mobile app. Additionally, you may not receive any bonus points on the following purchases:

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 1 Membership Reward point.
If you have one (or both) offers, this could be a great way to maximize your earnings on a platform where many of us make everyday purchases.
