Amazon Prime Card

NP27 — Sat, 11 Jul 2015 00:45:08 GMT

I am thinking of apping for this to get the 40 dollars off a pair of sunglasses I am purchasing, but I was wondering if I app and want to request a CLI immediately do I start a chat through the amazon website or synchrony?

Thru synchrony. Do you buy a lot off of Amazon because just a one time purchase isn't worth the HP

Oh then it's a great card for you to have (considering it myself) though I know people prefer the SM and Discover cards for Amazon as well. Nonetheless, you can call Synchrony and ask for an immediate CLI.

I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought I've read that people use Discover for Amazon. Maybe it's when they have quarterly deals. I do use my Sallie Mae for Amazon but it's capped at $750 per month and I've gone over that a couple times.

Right now Amazon is on the 5% category for Discover. And if you got in on the double cash promo, it would be 10% back with Discover.

Correct, plus Discover is linked with Amazon so if you have rewards dollars on your card you can use those towards a purchase.

Make sure your promo offer is still a $40 gift card.

Mine was also $40 for what seemed like ages, but a few weeks ago I noticed the offer seemed to not be there any longer (I still have the $70 offer for the Chase Amazon Visa, which I don't want). Last week an offer finally reappeared, but only for $20 off, and today I noticed the offer is now down to $10. My spending 'comes and goes', so to speak, so I guess they've changed my offer accordingly. If it goes back up to $40 (I hope it will around the holidays) I'll probably app for the card myself, since I'll need a way to get a discount once the Discover 'category' savings are over.

okay and when you get your card in the mail is when you can get a CLI. odds are they'll give you a limit of $300-$1000, but once you get it then you can raise the limit via chat

That is absolutely correct, Discover does have their "cashback" linked to Amazon. Just an FYi, never use that unless there is a promotion for $10 back on amazon with the use of 1 cent or $1 in Discover cash. Using this feature takes away from the cashback.

Just to clarify: If you are buying a $1000 item with the current 5% back and the 5% on the back end at the end of the year, you have just gotten yourself $100 in cashback. Now if you are buying the same item but using $500 of your cash back as payment, you will only make $25 with the 5% cashback and another $25 at the end of the year.

Pay for all items in full and then just use the cashback as statement credit. Just my 5 cents. Good luck.

no way... pay for all items in full and use cashback for giftcards, car rentals, cruises, etc.... 2x the value!

Gift cards are twice the value? I thought it was quite a bit less, like 10% extra

ETA: They won't let me have a Discover IT, so can't check myself!

well most of the time its not that great but if you can hold off you get better value. rental cars have always been 2x, last year $50 shell gift cards were $25 if I remember correctly, just depends on the specials....

I was gonna app for this card. But it says in small print. If you have a BK on your record, don't apply.
