Save $10 off $10 at Amazon using Citi ThankYou Points – YMMV

Amazon has been promoting the “Shop with Points” feature recently.  Promotions have come and gone using Chase UR’s and Amex MR’s.  Now it is Citi’s turn to run a promo for paying with ThankYou points.  You can save $10 off of your purchase if you meet a few requirements.  

UPDATE: This deal has expired, however two more $10-off Amazon deals are currently active!  – Deal #1 and Deal #2

Also, check out our list of 20 travel-related Amazon items under $20!

First, and most importantly, you must have an eligible Citi credit card with ThankYou points.  Then you must complete the following steps:

1. Link your Citi card to your Amazon account here to allow you to pay with points.
2. Select items that are sold by Amazon.com and shipped by Amazon.
3. Proceed to checkout and select your Citi card, and use the drop down to pay with points.  I chose to pay for $.04 with points, to use an even 5 TYPs.
4. Enter the promo code SWP15C10AG.

If all goes according to plan, you should see a $10 credit on your order.  Orders under $10 will be free!  This should work if you have not used a pay with Thank You points promo before.  Some people have reported success in using the offer a second time by un-linking and re-linking their Citi card to their Amazon account.

I was unsuccessful in getting the code to work, so I contacted Amazon via chat.  I provided the rep with the promo code, and she checked my cart to confirm the items were sold and shipped by Amazon.  She then applied a $10 courtesy credit to my order!  If you are unable to get the TYP offer to work, I definitely recommend the chat approach.

In the end, I was able to order two of these awesome light bulbs for $4.24!  What will you buy with your free $10??
