🏆 Our Favorite Pick: Dabble with Amazon using ONE point

Amazon Prime Day might be over, but the deals are still abundant thanks to a little feature called Shop with Points.

If you’ve linked a card that earns MR points to your Amazon account, you might be in for a fun treat: Redeem just one MR point and save up to 50% on your Amazon purchases.

These promos are targeted, so you may also see other amounts such as 30% or 40% off. But still… a discount is a discount. 💁🏻‍♀️

I wouldn’t normally recommend redeeming any points with Amazon — because I value travel redemptions waaaay more than a (admittedly, very cool) Magic Forest Cat Tree Tower. 🫠

But in this case, you’re only on the hook for one point to unlock your targeted discount!

To reiterate:

I received a nice discount via Amazon’s Shop with Points feature, and all thanks to redeeming just a single MR point. 😎
