Unless you are lucky enough to get an offer for 5% CB on Amazon store card, GC shopping is the only way to go for 5% return. Apps to Forward was long dead.


Well, Sallie Mae is pretty good for 5%, and Cash Plus as well.   But both are capped, unlike the Forward.


Well i am not an huge amazon shopper, maybe an few times an year, so for my personal situation i think 750 an month is enough for me. I don't think i will ever top that. Talking about amazon this is an little off topic , but the people that have amazon prime do you think its worth the price ?


YES!

 

Amazon prime you get free 2 day shipping , Prime Music ( Not great but you get a selection of music for free to listen to), Prime Instant Video which is like Netflix but a little bit worse, Kindle lending library which lets you borrow a book if you own a Kindle or Amazon's Fire phone.  Amazon prime is $99  or $8.25 a month and is cheaper then Netflix new pice of $8.99 a month and 25 cents more then netflix but you get a lot more. I shop everything at  amazon which makes it worthwhile  


I don't have netflix either i dropped them few months ago because selection of movies and tv shows wasn't that great. I will have to look more into features of amazon prime and see the selection of shows. 


It is pretty good imo but just buy everything on amazon and it is easily worth it Smiley Happy  Glad I am paying $79 for it next month Smiley Tongue

Re: which card to use for amazon purchases.

Also depends if you have to pay sales tax in your state, made Amazon a little less appealing

Last one to close near me was a Key Foods. Met food which I have 2 near me , and the places in Red Hook and the other Key Foods that still exists is still near me as well.   Trust me Amazon will never replace Those because Amazon doesn't sell perishables ..... nationally yet .  I am talking like Toliet paper and stuff
