The Amazon store card is good only at Amazon. If you are a Prime member, you get 5% off or you can opt for special financing.

The Amazon Chase Visa is good at any place that accepts Visa. You get 3% on every Amazon Purchase...2% at gas stations and restaurants....1% everywhere else.

On a sidenote I was approved for this card at the end of december and still havent received it in the mail. Do they normally not send out a card?

The PLCC has been a laminated paper card in the past. You should get a regular envelope from them with welcome info.

If you got any mail from them, you may want to double check it.

They also recently started sending out actual plastic cards, but I don't know if that is to everyone.

I have had an Amazon store card for a number of years as well. I never rec'd a plastic card. Instead I got a paper one that could have gone unnoticed in the mail except that I was watching for it. Maybe you will just get a paper one?

I got the Amazon store card in early September 2015. They sent me my number right away, and I started using it. I didn't even realize there was a plastic card coming until a month or so later when it arrived (I don't recall exactly when that was, but I was surprised). So yes, they do send cards, but it takes awhile.

A note about the store card. Make sure you record the account number somewhere. I never carry the card around (as why would I need the physical card) and sometimes, especially when you are shipping to a new address, Amazon makes you enter the full account number.

Same thing happened with my JCPenney card.

I'd forgotten about that. And it just happened to me recently, too. I was sending a gift, and I had to dig out my card (which I had handy at my desk). I'm glad I had it or it would have been a hassle. Good advice, syeb!
