Amazon has a new promotion for discounts on Fire tablets. You can get a $40 discount when you purchase with American Express Membership Rewards points. You just need to use at least one MR point to get the discount. Paying in full with points is NOT a good deal.

How to redeem your promotional discount:

• Click the button corresponding to each device below to activate this promotion credit and apply points to your next order. Please note that you will not receive the credit unless you click on this button for each eligible device you wish to purchase.
• Add one or more of the eligible products below sold and shipped by Amazon Digital Services LLC to your shopping cart.
• Your Membership Rewards points will be reflected as your payment method at checkout. To redeem this offer, you must pay for at least a portion of your order with Membership Rewards points.
• Savings will be reflected on the final order checkout page if the items in your order are eligible for the promotion credit. Limit one coupon code per order. See below for Terms and Conditions.

Guru’s Wrap-Up

Great prices if you’re looking for Fire tablets. Make sure you also go through JetBlue portal to earn 3x TrueBlue points or Ibotta to possibly earn 3% back on Fire Tablet purchases. You can take advantage of these discounts more than once. It says that offer is available by invitation only, so check for yourself to see if it works for you. It worked for me.

This could be also a resale opportunity, but this offer is not as good as the one they had last year.
