That was actually my first credit card with chase. At that time, I was approved when my TU fico was only 640 and a collection to boot. I initially thought the card would be great because I also shop on Amazon a lot, but I have had a hard time with that 3 point category. Apparently, its only for products sold and fulfilled by Amazon. I did a $800 order for items sold by Bebe but fulfilled by amazon and it did not qualify for that level in rewards because I only earned from the one point category.

Hey guys thinking of getting this for my wife since we spend so much on Amazon. She has a 700 credit score would she get approved? Also does anyone know the pros and cons of this card? Do the point youearn go to the UR like her freedom?
Chase Amazon Card is really nice... You can redeem the points for statement credit, cash, or use them to shop at amazon. The points are not UR points, but they are easy to redeem.
You also get 2X points for purchases at restaurants, drugstores, and gas stations
1X points for everything else.
To me, the Amazon card is a good value. Its a better value than Chase Sapphire.
Some people use the Citi Forward (i think this is the right card) which gives 5% cash back at bookstores. Amazon merchant code is a bookstore for Citi, so they use that card.
I personally don't do business with Citi, so for me, The chase card is the next best thing.

No no bad reports just not a long aaoa. 700 is fico. How does this card compare to the citi forward?It does not. Store-branded versus a prime card. No comparison.
The Chase Amazon Card is not a store branded card, it is simply a credit card that is co-branded, similar to Hyatt visa or BP visa. And Chase is considered Prime.

Also does anyone know if you don't get an instant approval is it an automatic denial? I had a friend who applied a few days ago and it wasn't instant, I think it said it would email him..Does that sound right??
If you don't get instant approval, you can always call to recon. That is what i did. My denial reason was too many inquiries... I was able to have the analyst review my report and realize that these were all mortgage related.
If your wife already has a relationship with Chase, they take that into account when issuing the Credit Limit. I was given 5k, but I've been banking with Chase since 2000 and have used them for a number of installment loans, education loans, and credit card products.
