What exactly is the difference between the two of these cards? Other than one is strictly Amazon and their affiliates only and the other can be used at other places besides Amazon.
I've looked back maybe 10 months and I don't see really much of a difference between the two other than with the synchrony you get 0% if you were to finance something for 6 months through Amazon. Whereas the Chase Visa, you have to worry about occurring interest if you can't pay it off within your statement time.
But essentially both cards give you 5% cash back at Amazon. But I do know that the Visa stops giving you 5% if you don't have the prime membership, whereas the synchrony will give you that 5% with or without the prime membership.
I'm just trying to understand the hype around the Chase Visa card versus the synchrony card.
