Amazon Store Card

Anonymous — Sat, 14 Nov 2015 23:18:46 GMT

What score does the Amazon store card require? Which bureau do they pull from? I got an email saying that if approved I would get a $20 credit. It wasn't a preapproval or anything. I'm just trying to lower my overall utilization. Thank you.

Amazon more than like my is a TU pull from synch bank. I would think a score of 640 + would be fine.

My friend got approved for both Walmart and Amazon on the same day with a score of 612. They pull TU.

Good luck!

They pulled TU from me and my current score is in my sig. Only a 700 credit limit. But I'm glad to get my foot in the door with synchrony!

I took the plunge and applied as well. I was approved for $700. I'll take it. It's my highest starting line that I've gotten so far on the rebuilding process.

Thanks! I read that sometimes you can get a CLI in chat immediately but I didn't want to push my luck.

I'd try the chat ask for like 10000. I did it with my lowes card. They countered me with 6000 which is a lot better than 1500 they gave me. Also tried with Newegg but that was a no go. Would like the amazon card as well but I don't think I'd get approved with all the new accounts I have currently.

How can I do that chat if I dont have the card or know the account number yet. I was curious and just wanted to know where to go when the time comes.

Congrats! If I recall correctly, my first purchased was to buy a "prime" membership, in order to get the 5% cash back plus the other benefits that come with it. If you buy anything from Amazon, this card sure can be practical.

For what it's worth, my immediate attempt at a CLI didn't work.

Can I use the card to buy a prime membership? Because that would be amazing.

I applied back in september because i'm a frequent buyer on Amazon. I placed and order and was offered a $10 gift card for applying and getting approved. A the time i only had an $800 Cap 1 QS card. I said go for it and i was shocked to get an instant approval for $2100.00 and immediaetly got the $10 girft card. I felt luck was on my side that day and have read from other posts if you do a lot of apps in a single day it doesnt hurt your score that much ( dont quote me its just what ive seen on other boards), anyway i wanted a walmart card been trying for a year i went and applied and bang instant approval for $1600 and to my surprise not the walmart store card but the Walmart Master Card, so needless to say i was very happy. At the time my score was 648 and they pulled from TU. I love amazon because of the deferred payment option and since becoming a prime member the benefits are great. What i didnt know is you can call Amazon customer service and tell them exactly how much of your payment you want to go to your deferred balance and how much to go on the standard balance. The card is amazing I wont apply for the VIsa because its Chase and they dont seem to really like me a whole lot . Anyway sorry for blabbing just wanted to wish you luck and hope your experience with Amazon goes as smoothly as mine has .

Haha! I'm definitely going into garden mode now (not including trying to get CLIs on my cards now). I got approved for Walmart the same day as Amazon. I'm going to give them a few months and request CLIs. I like how generous Amazon seems to be.

I was approved for Amazon 1300, called credit solutions next day, and got 5,000. Got Walmart a week later 1,600, called credit solutions an hour later got 6,000!

I'd call credit solutions, can't hurt!!

Congrats on your approval!
