This is a very nice deal leading up to the holidays but if you have a Chase INK Business Card you can do better.
Chase INK Business Cards earn 5 Ultimate Rewards points per dollar spent at office supply stores…and places like Office Depot and Staples sell Amazon Gift Cards.
Given the choice I’d prefer to earn 5 UR points per dollar rather than 3 Membership Rewards Points per dollar but, if you don’t have a Chase INK Business card or you’re looking to build up MR points, this is a very good offer to have.
Amazon Prime Discounts
This isn’t strictly miles & points related but it’s a good deal so I thought I’d mention it.
If you’re not currently subscribed to Amazon Prime then this may be a good time to do just that because Amazon USA is offering a yearly Amazon Prime membership for $79 (down from $99) from tomorrow 18 November.
And, if you’re in the UK and have been thinking of signing up for Prime then you probably won’t get a better deal than this – annual UK Prime membership for just £59 down from £79 and this deal appears to be live right now and runs through to midnight on 18 November.
Unsurprisingly, and as you can see from the promotional banners, this comes just before Amazon launches the most expensive car show ever….but most will probably get more use out of Amazon Prime’s super-fast delivery services.
