The Pokémon TCG Mega Evolutions ETB just got a steep discount at Amazon, but it could be yours for free

TL;DR: As of Nov. 6, the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Box is $79.95 at Amazon, down from $99.99. Alternatively, you could get it for free with a combination of AMEX and the Amazon Store Card $60 free credit for new customers.

This Pokémon TCG deal is boarderline ridiculous in the best way, so let’s break it down. If you don’t want to get involved with American Express or an Amazon Store Card, the Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Box is $79.95. That’s a really solid deal ahead of Black Friday.

If you get approved for an Amazon Store Card (see if you qualify), you’ll get an instant $60 gift card, making the ETB $19.95. Got an AMEX card? You could be eligible (see if you qualify) for a 30% further discount on the ETB.

Register your AMEX for the 30% discount then redeem your Amazon Gift Card to get the Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Box for free. Just to note that this isn’t financial advice, I’m just telling you every possible way to get the best deal on this ETB. Also, any of these offers could change at anytime, so this product being anywhere near market value is not guaranteed.

Most valuable Mega Evolution Pokémon cards

If you didn’t manage to qualify for either promotions to get the ETB for free, you’ll find just buying single cards to be cheaper than ripping open booster packs in the long run. Of course you could get lucky, but the chances are slim.
