One day only: $8.63 off a $50 Amazon order

Amazon just got rated #1 in some corporate reputation survey that I couldn’t care less about.

To celebrate, they’re offering $8.62 any purchase of $50 or more (86.27 being their score in the survey which, as said before, I couldn’t care less about). All you need to do is key in BIGTHANKS at checkout to get it.

I know what you’re thinking- not much of a deal for us in Singapore because of the shipping costs.

Well, there’s some truth in that, but you can use the code to buy digital gift cards. I took this opportunity to load up on AirBnB credit at an effective discount of 17%.

(EDIT: Air BnB gift cards can only be applied to US-based accounts. I got around this restriction by (1) Changing my address to a US-based one and (2) adding a US payment method to my account. The UOB VirtualPay AMEX is a good idea as it has a US billing address)

There are also other useful gift cards you might want to consider, however, including

• Hotels.com gift cards
• Hyatt gift cards
• Southwest/American Airlines gift cards (assuming your travels are taking you there soon)

Enter BIGTHANKS at checkout and you’re all set. It’s limited to one use per account but if you want to create a few accounts…I won’t judge you.

Offer expires 11.59pm Pacific Time on 22nd Feb. So act fast
