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?

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!

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?

They currently have a $200 Gift card promo going on right now just for getting approved it looks like. The arrival of the gc seems instant. I probably won’t have prime too much longer so is the card even worth it? I only want it for it’s promo honestly and wouldn’t ever use it.

UPDATE: … I did it :D got the $200 bonus instantly

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 have three already I was just wondering what y’all think , I was already approved for it I just want some other opinions

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.

I normally use my chase freedom, sapphire or Citi costco card to make all my purchases. But I saw an ad on amazon that the credit card they offer gives you 5% off all purchases is it worth it? I normally don’t keep a balance on my credit cards and pay them off before the end of the month so APR isn’t an issue for me.

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.

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.

I dont have amazon prime and maybe buy something on amazon once every 2 months. Was only looking at it for the 200 sign up bonus and no foreign transaction fee. New to credit cards only have the Savor One and Freedom Rise with score of 690. Savor one has a low limit 500.

Any thoughts? WIll be appreciated

I'm a prime member and do fins myself purchasing quite a bit on Amazon. I feel like it's my go-to if I don't go to target, best buy, or Walmart. I'm constantly getting the pre-qualified mailers. Does anyone have their card and how do you like it? Are you happy with the rewards you get back? Also it sounds like you don't get charged interest on anything you buy on Amazon.

Can you do balance transfers to this card?

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. 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.

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

I am choosing between the Prime Visa and the Prime Store Card.

I realize that the difference is Prime Visa can be used outside of Amazon shopping, while the other is limited to Amazon shopping.

Also, the promotion right now gives me a $150 gift card for Prime Visa Card sign-up, and Prime Store Card gives only $60 gift card.

Is there something that I am missing between these cards? Or is the obvious answer to get the Prime Visa Card?

Another question, does it matter that I am an “account holder” for my Amazon account? (I am apart of someone else’s Prime)

Has anyone here already got the Amazon Visa? Am I missing something or is this card really completely free and only offers advantages? I don't plan to take out a loan with the card or make installment payments, but only to settle my Amazon purchases with it - is there anything I'm overlooking here? Thanks for your input!

This is probably a pretty stupid question. I've never had a store card before.

Basically, Amazon is offering the card and a free gift card. Sick, I want the gift card, but I have no real reason to use the credit card. If I get the card (and the gift card) and never use the credit card, will it come back to haunt me? Is there some clause that could cause issues? Will me credit score tank?

Again. Stupid question, i know. I'm just a nervous person i guess. Thank you

I am looking into opening an amazon prime card for the $100 prime gift card that you get for opening it and then closing the card in like 6-8 months. Is this a bad idea? Will it hurt my credit score a lot?

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?
