How to get Amazon Prime Visa Card

[HeavenOhio]

If you're not supposed to shred it, how do you safely dispose of it?

Does anyone knwo the approval requirements for the Amazon Prime card? Would the requirements be closer to freedom/slate CSP, or CSR? Just curious for the future.

Probably have to cut it up with some heavy duty cutters that can go through metal.  I remember cutting pennies in half as a kid with some super strong cutters my father had.  Something like that would work.  Otherwise perhaps bringing science into it.  Melting it, dissolving it, etc?  lol

Google is our friend.

You'll need to call Chase, and they'll send you a postage-paid envelope. Mail in the card, and they'll dispose of it.

Metal cutters and blow torches won't work.

Hopefully once my credit scores go up, I would like to get one these cards. I buy quite a bit a Amazon using the store card. Not sure if that purchase history helps or counts towards the approval of the Visa card.

You don't think cutters that can cut through a penny can cut through a Chase Amazon card?  I've never felt one of these cards, but I wouldn't expect it to be stronger or thicker than a penny.  If it is, that's pretty impressive.

Chase will send you an envelope to mail back the card for disposal. Same procedure for their Sapphire Preferred and Reserve.

As for cutting the card with those scissors you can cut pennies with, I'd imagine that you'd have to first peel of the two layers of plastic... Might be able to cut it then. Lol.

I would think if it could cut through metal no problem that two thin layers of plastic overlaying the metal would be light work and no sweat.  Again, just thinking here as I've never seen or held one of these cards.

Chase recommends returning to one of their branches for secure disposal

Fun Fact: encasing metal in plastic makes it HIGHLY resistant to cutting.  Just google 'cut resistant bicycle lock' for examples
