Freedom, IT, BCE - Amazon Purchase?

Does anyone know if buying stuff with Amazon counts for more points with any of these cards? I thought I saw somewhere that Amazon was counted as a select department store for one of these cards and earned 2X the points? Thanks,

 

Cheers!

Amazon is typically coded as a bookstore, so none of the cards offer any bonuses on it this month; sorry!

 

If they are the only cards in your line-up though, and you have a Chase checking account, the Freedom would be the better yield at 1.1%. Otherwise none of them matter (unless, of course, you have a CSP as well, then keep sticking with the Freedom). If you're looking to apply for a card with a great yield on amazon, I would try the Sallie Mae card through Barclay's.

 

All the best!

For the BCE it is not. Even though it is categorized under Department Store, it does not qualify for the 2% bonus.
