| It's offering $50 for just signing up, is there any reason that someone should not apply? |

We have one and love it. We put a few grand a month across the card and pay it off in full a couple times a month. The rewards add up fast as we buy a LOT from amazon. We pay every bill with the card except for the mortgage. We would pay the mortgage with it if they would let us use a credit card. |

I shop online alot, i've had the rewards card for many years and use it for pretty much all daily purchases, bills etc. I get a nice refund at the end of each month in rewards cash. Its a great card if you carry a zero balance every month. |
| Do you guys want to explain the steps involved to redeem rewards? It isn't just a simple "apply rewards to my purchase" at checkout. My g/f had one, it wasn't listed as the default billing card and they autobilled a prime membership to it. She had some rewards but they wanted her to jump through multiple hoops to get the reward. We shut the card down. |

We shut the card down. It has always been super-easy for me. At check-out when it prompts you for your billing method choose the Amazon rewards card and underneath it shows if there are any reward dollars available to use. You just check the box next to the reward dollars if you want to use them. Easy-peasy. |

We shut the card down. No clue what she was doing, but it's incredibly simple. Buy stuff. Earn rewards. Use rewards to buy things on Amazon, or get a statement credit. The account your Prime membership is billed to is separate from the ones you make purchases with. But you can set them to the same card. |

I buy pretty much everything with my rewards card and should have enough rewards to get a free XBOX Scorpio when it comes out a year from now. |

I told her I saw screen shots showing what you said, using the points. She didn't have that option on her screen, then she was directed to a 3rd party site to sign up and request the rewards. Maybe after that it would have linked the accounts and then been built in but it wasn't immediately avilable for her. What bothered me was we put her card on my account and used it once, for the Amazon Echo discount. After that they just auto billed the prime membership even though the card wasn't the default. Had I not noticed that my Prime membership was renewed we never would have known that charge was put on that card and she would have gotten late fees. |

| Life lesson. Don't use your rewards points to buy stuff. Give yourself cash or statement credits back. Then use that money to earn more rewards. With Amazon rewards card, you put $100 in rewards back to your account and spend that $100 on Amazon and you get another 3% back. $100 becomes $103. |

We shut the card down. The Amazon Visa rewards is my dads go to card for everything. He racks up the points and uses them to buy electronics from Amazon. He buys everything from gas to hammers with it. When he goes online there is an option to use then points when making an Amazon buy. He normally saves them for big purchase. |

For Amazon purchases, we use the Amazon store card. 5% off all purchases. I just finished signing dad up for one of those about a week ago. "If I am going to watch Gene Autry I might as well get a 5% back on my purchase." He just recently figured out how to use the Amazon Prime to rent movies....and he likes old westerns that he can not get anywhere else. |

Can you get real cash money, like a check? Or are the rewards only good for Amazon purchases? I have the Amazon Store Card, but it gives 5% statements credits on your monthly bill. No cash. I have the amazon visa, but never use it at amazon (3%). I use the Amazon store card to get 5% back (must have Prime to get the 5%). |

I just signed up and got one today - like has been said, I buy a LOT of shit on Amazon, so it's a no-brainer. I'll just use it for everything and pay it off every month, then 'free' stuff on Amazon. Quoted:

We shut the card down. The best way to use points is to redeem for cash back, because you don't earn any points if you use points to buy. I switched to the Amazon Store Card. 5% off on Amazon. I have other credit cards with better cash back on other categories. ETA: you redeem for statement credits through the Chase Bank online portal. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
