Re: What do you like best about your Amazon Store Card

Everything above already mentioned, 5% CB, etc.

 

Amazon really nailed the market when they started this and sometimes when you order you think that they must have a warehouse just around the corner too.

 

I am a long distance driver and know all about EXPEDITE very well.

 

The BEST I would have to say is that Synchrony services this card and that means Rapid Credit Limit Acceleration without a HP too.

 

A major PLUS for helping keep your utility low on high dollar purchases.

I cancelled this CC with Syncrony Credit and cut off this card. I'm not a Prime member and I get 5% elsewhere. Syncrony is the worst CC company I've ever seen. Once we had a $10 payment not paid (or late), they charges us like $37 late fee. It is not the CC, but the Syncrony Credit.

Yeah... I ordered a 1TB SSD at 7:36 last night.  It was delivered at 8:08 this morning

Finally, the local LaserShip has gotten their act together! (Better than their previous "same-day" == "next week" routine.)

 

(Right, right, this was about the card.  Uncapped 5% and 30k limit is very nice, since these days we order a majority of all non-grocery purchases through Amazon... it's the only "store card" that I'd consider worthwhile.)

5% back all the way. Limits grow faster than my bankcards. If I had a blispay id use that one to make a larger purchase over time as you score the 2% plus the 6 months payments. I'm still a happy customer with my amazon prime card for what it is though. I do spend 100+ a month thru amazon minimum. Soap, TP, home essentials, pet food is a lot of it.

Re: What do you like best about your Amazon Store Card

Besides the fact that they approved me?  I like all the finance promos that others have mentioned.  The payment site is easy to navigate and very informative on both your pc/mac and android versions.  I was approved for $700 in June/July of this year.  Logged in to pay my account in October and they gave me an auto increase to $2000.  One more increase and I can buy my Summit refrigerator without devestating my utility.  Which I have learned about from this site.  Thanks to all.  I love my Amazon.  I will keep that and my Walmart over my CapOne Mastercard if I had to choose.  I can get gas and food etc with my Wallys with cashback.  I can use Amazon for everything else.  Wally's also dropships large ticket items with finance promos but they ship slowly and the selection is not as extensive as Amazon's,  I have Amazon Prime.  I think to get all the benefits you need the Prime.  I dropped my Spotify because all of my music is offered with Prime and I can ask for it using my Echo while cooking or hanging out in my kitchen (my favorite spot).  I am deciding on whether to drop Hulu or Netflix because I have Prime which also carries an extensive collection.  My Prime is renewed using my Amazon Store card so no worries there. 

 

Back to the store card....my favortie card hands down.  Although, I was just offered a Discover in the mail and accepted so we shall see if Amazon reigns supreme in 2017.  Have a great winter season everybody.

I asked for a CLI yesterday.  Got the 7-10.  Probably a denial but no HP so thats why I did it.  It had been since July with use and PIF.  I still like Amazon though!!!

Re: What do you like best about your Amazon Store Card

Sorry jamevfan, its just my take on the fact that from my understanding, the prime store card can be of more use rewards wise if you buy alot on Amazon with the 5% cash back while the Visa only provides 3%. That and seeing how you probably can get a much higher limit with the Sync card compared to the Chase Visa, hard pulls most likely for cli, and thats the two main reasons i like my Amazon store card.
