New Amex Offer with Amazon, up to 1,500 Bonus Membership Rewards
We’re a big fan of American Express and their offer products. American Express offers is, in my opinion, one of the most rewarding parts of the credit card. Simply by adding these offers to your card, you can save hundreds of dollars or earn tens of thousands of bonus points on everyday purchases. American Express is out with their most recent offer, up to 1,500 Membership Rewards points with your Amazon purchases.
Terms and Conditions
The Terms and Conditions are pretty long here, so I’ll paste them and highlight the parts you need to pay attention to. Otherwise, it’s a pretty cut and dry 2 points per dollar, up to 1,500 bonus points before the end of September:
OFFER TERMS
ENROLLMENT/ELIGIBLE CARDS: By enrolling and making an eligible purchase, you consent to American Express sharing with Amazon the fact that you redeemed this Amex Offer. Amazon’s use of this information will be subject to Amazon’s privacy policies and practices. Enrollment limited. Must first add offer to Card and then use same Card to redeem. Only U.S.-issued American Express® Cards that are enrolled in the Membership Rewards® program at the time of purchase are eligible. Limit 1 enrolled Card per Card Member across all American Express offer channels. Your enrollment of an eligible American Express Card for this offer extends only to that Card. Your enrollment does not extend to any other Cards that may be linked to the same Membership Rewards program account (such as Additional Cards). Offer is non-transferable. ELIGIBLE PURCHASES: Offer valid only for purchases made at Amazon.com and via the US Amazon mobile app using your enrolled American Express Card after enrollment and prior to 9/30/2019. Excludes corporate gift card and custom-designed gift card purchases. Not valid at international sites owned and/or operated by Amazon or websites affiliated with/linked to/from Amazon.com. To the extent Membership Rewards points are used toward purchases, such purchases do not qualify for this offer. Offer not valid for Amazon Local, Amazon Mechanical Turk, Amazon Web Services, Amazon Home & Business Services, Amazon Currency Converter, Home Services, Prime Photos, Amazon Inspire, Amazon Video Direct, Amazon business, Amazon Global, or Amazon Drive. See Amazon.com for shipping policy. Amazon may not ship to all areas. Purchases may fall outside of the offer period in some cases due to a delay in merchants submitting transactions to us or if the purchase date differs from the date you made the transaction (for example, the purchase date for online orders may be the shipping date). If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the additional points. For example, your transaction will not qualify if it is not made directly with the merchant. In addition, in most cases, you may not receive the additional Membership Rewards points if your transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party. EARNING POINTS: You will receive 2 additional Membership Rewards points per dollar spent on eligible purchases made using your enrolled American Express Card in accordance with the terms of this offer. Limit of 1,500 additional Membership Rewards points per Card Member. The enrolled account must be active, in good standing and not in default to receive the additional Membership Rewards points. These additional points are in addition to any points you would normally receive for purchases on your Card under the terms of the Membership Rewards program. When American Express calculates the additional points benefit for Amex EveryDay® Card products, points awarded under this offer will not be included. Additional points will be credited to your Membership Rewards program account within 90 days after 9/30/2019, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. American Express may not credit additional points to, or we may take away additional points that have been credited to, your program account if the qualifying purchase is returned/cancelled. Terms and conditions for the Membership Rewards program apply. Visit membershiprewards.com/terms for more information. Participating partners and available rewards are subject to change without notice. The value of Membership Rewards points varies according to how you choose to use them.

I highlighted the bit about the Amex Everyday because your card may be targeted.

I usually pay using the Chase Amazon card which gives me 5% back.
If I use my AmEx Platinum card instead I would get 3 MR points.
Which is better?

Without a doubt… Amex. I mean, you can get 5% back, sure, but those MR can be transferred to airlines, Amazon points can’t
