Synchrony Amazon vs Visa Amazon
It’s from Chase & not from Synchrony, that’s hype for some people as it is. Prime Visa can get 5% back on Woot now (if you say, “what’s Woot?” then don’t worry about it lol). Store card can do the promotional financing, but in general you probably shouldn’t finance anything you’re getting on Amazon imo. It’s also likely that in the financing terms from Synchrony that they’ll calculate interest as a percentage of the whole purchase you’re financing, not a percentage of your remaining balance. Store card has its own dedicated app with UI from like 10+ years ago, Prime Visa is managed in the much better Chase app. They both get 5% back at Whole Foods now, you just need to pay through the Whole Foods app when using the Store Card, can use the physical card with the Visa. I got the store card as my first non-AU card as a teenager thinking getting approved for a store card would be easier. I’ve had it for years, but I recommended my parents and a friend to get the Visa, for what that’s worth. Synchrony will only soft pull for CLIs, and you can request the limit you want, if that’s important to you. I don’t believe you can request a specific limit when requesting an increase from Chase. In addition, if you cancel your Prime membership, the Prime Visa will downgrade to 3% back on Amazon, the Store card will stop earning rewards altogether. Check the Ts&Cs More on reddit.com

r/CreditCards on Reddit: Synchrony Amazon vs Visa Amazon
October 30, 2024 -

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.

I got the Synchrony card about a week before I discovered that there was/is a Chase card. It's sitting on my desk right now, planning on closing it. I opted for the AMEX Prime biz card instead, it doesn't have access to the section of Prime "liquidation" deals that the Store and Visa card have access to but I've never found anything of interest to me in those deals. I PIF, rather having the 5% points back. I read through your reply, FYI you can use the Store card's app to generate a QR code to shop at WF stores, 5% back. Tried it once, worked well.
