    Hi,

    Anyone see any good deals?

  2. MargieL

    I entered my AMEX card and it says it is not a rewards card??!! It absolutely is a rewards card! Anyone else have this trouble?

      I think you need min. of $25 points to be eligible to have amex rewards account.

    If this is like the last time they ran this deal, you only have to use 1 point to get the discount, and you can use it multiple times up to the $100 limit.

    It wouldn’t take my Amex Blue Card. Said it was not a rewards card???? I get reward dollars for using it — so what’s the difference? Does anyone have that special “rewards” card that they are requiring?

    • Rockstar

      Amex has multiple rewards programs. I have a Blue card, but I get points not dollars.

    • Margaret

      You need a card that pays out rewards as Membership Rewards. Unfortunately, the Blue card line doesn’t.

    What FANTASTIC timing! My son’s bedframe broke this morning. I had $78 in rewards points accumulated. The 20% off saved me another $31 on a new frame. Shipping was free with prime. My out of pocket to replace the bed was only $50! I can’t thank you enough for all you do for the Hip2Save tribe. Happy 4th everyone!

      Woohoo! You’re very welcome! Happy 4th to you too! 😉

    So shocked there aren’t more comments about the amazing deals people have gotten. I got $500 in grocery store gift cards for $400.

    • Holly (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Wow, that is Awesome!

    • Debbie

      TracyS.. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHICH GIFT CARDS YOU WERE ABLE TO BUY…THANK YOU SO MUCH

    • Gigi

      WOW nice job TracyS. Which grocery store?

    I had a flag on my Amazon “load $100 to your balance using Amex and pay partial with Amex points, get $15 back”. I did it and the $15 was available instantly. I bought a few Subscribe and Save items. Plus I got bonus double Amex points for using it on amazon from my deals over there.

  8. Gigi

    Anyone have tips on how to figure out what items are eligible? Is it EVERYTHING “sold and shipped by Amazon.com”? Do you have to go all the way to checkout to see eligibility?

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Hi there! Here is what I find in the FAQ –
      “Are there any products I can’t buy using Shop with Points?
      Shop with Points is generally available to buy millions of products on Amazon.com. Please note, however, that rewards points cannot be used for all purchases on Amazon.com, and items that currently may not be purchased using Shop with Points include some digital goods, Kindle downloads, Subscribe and Save items, or AmazonFresh. Please also note that currently you may not use one-click to purchase products using Shop with Points.”

      You can view all of the details on the offer over HERE. Hope that helps!

    Thank you very much for posting this offer!
    Our son saved $100 by using his “points,” when he bought a phone.
    He was very happy, sent the offer to all his friends!

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      How cool! You’re welcome, Dawn!
