This as actually amazing. Besides the $50 credit it also gives you united miles plus united bonus miles. So if I understood correctly If you use amex gold to purchase amazon gift card you will get 3x points on amex plus 1.25 points on united so no need to run to staples to use ink when I can do it instantly for my computer for a bit less points. It is also a great way to extend the life on united account.
Glad this tip helped some of you out. I honestly thought it was a widely known thing when I posted it.
$50. Did you do it on an au or primary card?
Mine are for $75 all AU cards.
Maybe that's why you didn't get a notification. Are they linked to your email?
Yup. Though the charge posted yesterday and it says mileage x Amazon, but in the description it says united airlines special ticket..or something like that.
I got notifications for au's as well as for primary. All were for $75.All credits posted!
Nice! What was the time lapse between charge posting and credit posting
Does anyone know if this would work for the $200 statement credit on the platinum card?
