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. |

It is an easy rewards card to use. When you purchase something you get prompted if you want to apply your rewards.

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

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. |

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 use the card for all purchases, and try to put big purchases like windows and electronics on it. Between that and covering Bing searches to Amazon gifts, I was able to save about $500 on Christmas gifts this year.

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. |

Decent card, use it just for amazon purchases, maybe 5 purchases a year. $50 worth of free purchases, why not.
Edit, mine is through Chase. |

Get the Amazon Store Card, not the Amazon Rewards Visa.
The Store Card is 5% cash back instead of 3% for the visa. |

I'm old and confused too.
Got the credit card and somewhere floating around is a $50 gift card. Ordered something for like $40 or so and got the bill and paid it off. But I never activated the card. Tossed it the drawer and that's that.

I pay it every 2 weeks so I never carry a balance. |

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. |

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.

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. |

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 |
