Check again to see if targeted. If you have an American Express card with Membership Rewards (MR) points, you can redeem them to buy eligible items at Amazon.com.

Get up to 40% off or $10 off $100 purchase, valid on items shipped and sold by Amazon. Must redeem at least 1 Membership Rewards point. You may be eligible even if you’ve done similar promos before. … [Read More...]
