No catch. Great card if you already have Prime and order things regularly. 2% on Restaurants and Transit on a no FTF Visa makes it a descent beginner international travel card. Answer from Cautious-Island8492 on reddit.com

r/CreditCards on Reddit: What’s the catch with the Amazon Prime Card?
August 18, 2024 -

The quick hits from their marketing page are…

  • 5% at WF, Prime, and Chase Travel

  • 2% at restaurants and transit

  • No annual fee

  • No international fees.

I wouldn’t carry a balance and would only use this for the rewards. But it’s not got the best (crowdsourced) reviews.

If I already have (+ shop) Amazon Prime and shop at Whole Foods for groceries most of the time, is there a catch in not seeing?

So ive been considering the Amazon CC since i do so many purchases in a year on amazon. Do any of you have / use it? I currently have Amex gold, Amex Blue cash, Amex adelta and Chase reserve. Is it worth it if you spend around 5-10k a year on amazon?

r/CreditCards on Reddit: Thinking about getting the Amazon Prime Card, worth it?
May 14, 2025 -

Hey everyone,

I’m debating whether or not I should pick up the Amazon Prime Visa from Chase. Right now, I use my Amex Platinum for Amazon purchases and I don’t really mind since I’m getting MR points, but lately I’ve been thinking more about optimizing that 5% back with the Amazon card.

Not 100% sure if it’s worth adding another card just for that perk, especially since I already have Prime and my Plat handles most of my big purchases/travel. But curious if any of you have felt the upgrade was worth it or if it just ends up collecting dust.

Side question: does anyone know if the Amazon Visa is still metal? I’ve heard some folks in certain areas (I’m based in LA) were given a metal version, wondering if that’s still a thing or if they’ve switched to plastic across the board.

Thanks in advance!

I have read other threads, and my understanding is yes, it will be worth it since I am already paying for Prime and find myself buying things on Amazon fairly often.

The thing is, I don't know much about how cards work and stuff, and I already own the Student Discover card with a CL of $2,100 (I know, very low, but I'm a busy student with barely any time to work, unfortunately, but gratefully, I live with my parents rent-free). Assuming if I get accepted for the Amazon Visa, is it worth it even if I already have the Student Discover and considering my low income?

Edit: Should I also wait for the $200 SUB again since it's back to $150?

So I’m debating if I should apply for the Amazon Prime Visa card that’s with Chase. I currently have 4 other cards in my wallet and this card would solely be used for Amazon purchases and occasionally for gas. I also plan on getting the AMEX Gold sometime next year so I will have 6 cards by the end of 2024.

Is the Amazon card really worth it? I’m more intrigued with the card now that you can use the points on the Chase travel portal, even though it’s not with UR.

I currently use my CFU for Amazon purchases. If I calculated correctly I would get around 2-2.5% more in points if I had an Amazon card (after transferring my CFU points to my CSR)

I can’t decide whether it’s worth it for me to have 6 cards for all different purchase categories. Using my CFU seems more convenient since I can just transfer the points through UR. My main goal with credit card points is to save for travel. I’m not one to redeem for cash back or anything like that.

Also was wondering how the interest is calculated? I saw some people mention that interest starts accumulating from the day of the purchase and others saying it accumulates after the statement closes with that unpaid balance.

I am thinking of getting the Amazon Prime Visa Signature Card. My credit score is 715 and I already have an Amazon membership. I pay my cards off every month, but I only have 5 years of credit history.

Worries due to the following comments on the Amazon website reviews:

"Predatory interest rate," which I usually ignore bc I never let mine acrue any interest, but this one said that they charged interest beginning the day it was purchased rather than at the end of the period. And that if it wasn't paid in whole the entire amount accrued interest including parts already paid off. Random cancellations after already receiving the card... wish I could post screenshots there were a lot of crazy accusations against chase and I've never banked with them before.

November 8, 2024 -

I’ve been a prime member for a long time, definitely use it often. Right now they’re offering $200 gift card into account as offer. Is this card a no brainer and definitely worth having for an Amazon prime member? Also I do have another Chase credit card already so would I just sing into my chase account to pay the card and I’ll see both my credit cards? Does my other chase cash back card and this cash back card all stack or do I have to transfer the points from Amazon to chase then redeem cash back? Thank you.

I picked up this credit card last year for the first time. I only use it as my default Amazon credit card, and no where else.

I’m a disabled wheelchair user, so I order from Amazon probably more than the typical person.

With no annual fee, I’ve been pretty happy with the results. You get 5% back on many Amazon purchases. For me, that equated to $480.

First time poster. Links aren’t allowed here right? Right now, you get a $100 Amazon credit when you open an account.

I'm thinking of getting the Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card. My credit score is in the low 700s and I already have an Amazon membership. I pay off my cards every month but only have a couple of years of credit history.

Worries due to the following comments on the Amazon website reviews:

"Predatory interest rate," which I usually ignore bc I never let mine acrue any interest, but this one said that they charged interest beginning the day it was purchased rather than at the end of the period.

Update: I got approved and look forward to enjoying the benefits this upcoming semester!

I am looking to get my first credit card. I am 23 and have survived perfectly fine but wanted to build some credit aside from paying on my student loans.

I have looked into a handful of cards and am leaning towards the Discover card or Amazon card. I have an Amazon prime account already.

I use Amazon fairly regularly but I can’t tell if the Amazon card would restrict me too much or if it would fit me. I will take any other advice on different credit cards though.

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?

Does anyone have experience with the Amazon credit card? Is it any good, I'm looking for a second card more in line with my day to day life, my 1st card just basically collects dust but I've had it for so long I don't want to cancel it. All it does it get me travel points which I never use. I want a new cars to get me cash back or discounts on purchases. I use Amazon a lot so that's why I'm thinking about this card.

The problem I have with the card is that it is only good at buying things off of Amazon if you have prime. So you have to pay the $100 per year subscription just to get any benefit from the card. Plus you need to be smart about what you buy from Amazon to get any real savings. A lot of things are either more expensive than if you went in store or is available on Aliexpress for a third of the price. You probably would be better off getting something like the tangerine moneyback credit card where you can pick 3 categories to get 2% cashback on.

it's ok... but not the best.... it's good if you shop a lot on amazon and have prime... just like how the costco mastercard is good if you shop at costco a lot.... without knowing your habits it's hard to know what's good for you.... one card i think everyone should have even if you don't shop there is the Canadian Tire Triangle Mastercard.... with the only downside of you earn CT money which can only be spent at Canadian Tire and their other brands under the same umbrella.... why i think everyone should have this card is you get free Canadian Tire Gold Roadside assistance plan if you have the world elite version... AND you can pay your utility bills, taxes with the card as if it's a debit card and earn cashback... FOR FREE! i have earned probably thousands at this point because of this.... i watch out for deals on small appliances at CT and spend the CT money on that... so far i got a kitchenaid stand mixer, a ninja double air fryer... some tools, some furniture and other stuff i dont even remember.... all from just paying bills with the card. it doesn't even have an annual fee but yeah i also have brim, which has increased cashback for amazon... and also good to have (the no annual fee version) because it's one of the only no annual fee free foreign transaction card left in canada i do have the amazon card but i find i use it less and less... nowadays i mostly am on the AMEX train... i find amex has the best customer service, always has my back and AMEX MR points are very flexible and they have a lot of offers that comes in handy every now and then.... cobalt is the fav for a lot of ppl because of the spend categories with accelerated earning... i also have the TD visa cashback as my OG default card... PC mastercard for shopping at PC stores and costco mastercard for costco
