Our Verdict

Similar to previous offers. If you’re not targeted then follow these instructions, although that hasn’t been working as well as it once did. We’ve added this to our Complete Guide to Saving Money on Amazon.

Update History:

• Update 5/22/26: Deal is back. Some things/changes to note: Now requires redeeming $10 in points (1,429) to get the discount for some people. Others still see $5 in points required. Valid until 6/30/26. Not sure on maximum discount. Highest I’ve seen so far is 50% back, up to $80.
