Shop on Amazon a lot so might as well. My main bank account is also on chase, and I have the freedom unlimited card. My main gripe is the annual fee. If they're both 0 annual, then Prime Visa is the better choice. But I don't get it, some say you have to have Amazon Prime (I do have that, for now) for it to have none, the website does not specify that. Which one should I go with?

Can I use the Prime Visa card anywhere?
Which card is better, the Chase Sapphire Preferred card or the Prime Visa card?
Does the Prime Visa card have foreign transaction fees?
I use Amazon but I wouldn’t call myself someone who uses it everyday. Am a casual spender and when I buy I spend more than 50 dollars on my orders. I had this before but never used it since I had the card since 1 year ago . I haven’t used the card the moment it came in the mail. Recently I got a new card with 28 BENEFITS and no annual fees? Sounds amazing but am a bit skeptical. Can someone confirm if this card is trustworthy?
I'm taking a hard look at my spending and I got to thinking about Amazon prime at $140/year. Every time I've looked into the 'worth' of Amazon Prime membership, the frequency and cost of shipping always made it worth it. I've also had the Prime Visa for years now that gives us 5% cash back on all Amazon purchases and when we randomly go into Whole Foods.
But, I'm wondering if the juice is worth the squeeze considering orders over $35 are free 2-day anyway.
If I cancel my $140 membership then my card will be downgraded to a store card that only gets 3% cash back which is still pretty good. Is the thought process of "if you buy $2,800 worth of stuff off of Amazon per year then the membership pays for itself? That's pretty eye opening. This rabbit whole is definitely going to get my wife and me to review all of our Amazon purchases in the last year to see what was actually worth it or not.
TL:DR is Amazon Prime membership + Prime Visa worth it now assuming we don't change our spending patterns?
I have a Chase card for years but forgot about its benefits. While shopping at Amazon they had a pop-up to remind me to make it the default one.
On the app it says: “Earn unlimited 5% back at Amazon.com, including Amazon Fresh, Prime Video, Kindle Unlimited and Whole Foods Market with an eligible Prime membership”
