It works for me pretty consistently. When you make the reservation, does “Amazon Benefits” show as your AWD?

I do always check it against my other AWD, and book the lowest available rate out of an ethical obligation to my company. But the Amazon Benefits rate is rarely more expensive, usually equal, and sometimes cheaper. I don’t think I have ever NOT received the gift card on an Amazon Benefits booking.
