Make Your Own Amazon $25 off $50+ Deal (IF you have AMEX with Membership Rewards)

This is “Make Your Own Amazon Deal” type of a promotion. You have to have an American Express credit cart that comes with the Membership Rewards program. You need to have (or add) that to your Amazon account, and (at least partially) pay for the order using Membership Rewards points using Amazon’s Shop With Points option. You can use a $1 worth of Membership Points, you don’t have to use all your available balance (because the exchange rate is NOT favorable).

The deal is this: you get a $25 off discount on an order of $50+ if you pay with an AMEX credit card and at least in-part pay using Membership Rewards points. You have to enter promo code AMEX17EVER during the checkout process. I believe only items sold and shipped by Amazon actual are eligible.

Bad News: Monoprice M1060 Out of Stock until Tax Day

This is good news for people who like bad news (and your wallet). The Monoprice M1060 planar magnetics are now out of stock at the Monoprice website and cannot be ordered. The Monoprice estimate for the next batch is April 17 in 2017. Their previous estimates for the two Monolith headphones were correct, so there’s that 🙂

The smaller on-ear M560 planar magnetics remain in-stock for $200. They are not eligible for the Friday coupons but their amplifier bundle is. However, the best coupon-price for the bundle is with a 20% off coupon, so if you don’t need this bundle yesterday, wait for a 20% off coupon.
