If you don't shop at amazon a lot, then maybe its ok that they close it... I would say, call the backdoor number and see if they can PC it to something that you would use more.

I use my Amazon card all the time... its my backup to the PRG, and it gives good rewards.

This card seems very hard to PC, I tried several times, because of the co-brand.

But I have to ask, what are the good rewards?  3% on Amazon, 2% on dining/drug stores/gas/office supplies?  Nothing special there.

Sorry, what does "PC" mean?

Also, it's 5% on Amazon, but you're right on the other categories. ** Correction - 3 points per dollar, not 5, on Amazon purchases.

I also like it because it's a Signature card.

Really?   Maybe it is a different version of the card, but on my screen it says:

Get the most out of your Amazon.com Rewards Visa® Card

Earn points on every $1 spent:

• 3 points on Amazon.com purchases
• 2 points on gas station, restaurant, drugstore and office supply store purchases
• 1 point on all other purchases

If you get 5 that's different, as then it is competitive with Forward/Us Bank/SallieMae, which give 5%

You're right, I'm sorry. It's 3 points per dollar, not 5. My brain isn't working well these past couple days due to a lot of stress about various things.

I'll fix that post also.

Chase just told me I could not transfer the limit to my other card. Is this CSR clueless?

I've never heard of a successfull PC from the Chase Amazon. I've heard of success with consolidating the credit limit though.

Yes, I tried to PC several times.   But when I got the CSP, I moved $10K of my amazon limit to that without an issue.

In alot of cases bank co branded cards are co owned by the bank and the cobranded company. The cobranded company has a say in the lending guidelines. So there are times when you get approved for a Amazon Visa and not another Chase product, or get approved for an Delta Amex Card and not another Amex product.

This could be the reason why you are not able to transfer credit lines from one Chase account to another.

The rewards aren't capped and the categories don't rotate... So it may not be the "best" in terms of rewards, it's really not bad...
