Amazon: Get 50% Off When Using Membership Rewards Points (Up To $80 In Discounts)(YMMV)

Update 5/22/26: Deal is back. Some things/changes to note:

• Now requires redeeming $10 in points (1,429) to get the discount for some people. Others still see $5 in points required. 
• Valid until 6/30/26
• Not sure on maximum discount. Highest I’ve seen so far is 50% back up to $80. Previously best was 50% up to $80.
