Amazon Prime - Shop with points on Amazon Prime

Amazon is a partner of two financial institutions: American Express and TD. You can redeem American Express Membership Rewards points (1,000 Membership Rewards points = $7) or TD Rewards points (1,000 points = $3.33) at Amazon.ca.

Link your American Express or TD Rewards card to your Amazon.ca Shop with Points program. At checkout, select your American Express or TD credit card as your payment method and choose the number of points to apply to your order.

However, it’s worth noting that it’s more attractive to use your points on your Amazon purchase once it’s been charged to your American Express credit card. In fact, as with any purchase, you can use your points as an account credit at the rate of 1,000 Membership Rewards points = $10. Like my purchase at IGA:

So, to earn the most points with this offer, it’s best to pay for your purchases with a TD Aeroplan credit card:

If you don’t have a specific purchase to make on Prime Day, the Amazon gift card is the best option for pampering yourself later. The advantage is that there are no fees or expiry dates to use them. They can be used to purchase eligible products and services on amazon.ca or other Amazon sites in other countries, and you can earn 20% points back if you purchase them in points through the Aeroplan eBoutique from July 8 to July 17, 2024 (registration required).

Also, if you’re an Aeroplan Elite Member, you’ll earn two extra points for every dollar you spend in the Aeroplan eStore.

And if you use your Scotiabank Gold American Express® Card at IGA/Sobeys grocery stores, you’ll even earn 6 points per dollar!
