American Express has introduced new targeted promotions for cardholders making purchases on Amazon, according to reports from One Mile at a Time, The Points Guy, and Frequent Miler. The offers allow eligible primary cardholders to earn bonus points or direct savings on their purchases with the online retailer. [1][2][3]

Frequent Miler reported that specific promotions include earning 1,000 bonus Membership Rewards points or a 5 US dollar statement credit after spending 40 US dollars on Amazon. Meanwhile, The Points Guy reported that certain offers allow shoppers to save up to 50 percent on Amazon orders by using as few as 429 Membership Rewards points. Enrollment is required before making a purchase, Frequent Miler noted. [2][3]

American Express is an American financial services corporation that specializes in payment cards. Amazon was founded in 1994 as an online book marketplace and has since expanded into a multinational e-commerce company. [4][5]

Cardholders must log into their American Express accounts to check whether they are targeted for the offers and enroll their eligible cards before spending on Amazon, Frequent Miler reported. [3]
