Amazon CC or Chase Amazon CC???

Anonymous — Sun, 17 Apr 2016 17:16:37 GMT

Greetings,

OK...I have done extensive research on either the regular store Amazon CC or the Chase Amazon CC and I would like to get the forum members personal experiences with which they eventually obtained. My DW shops "ALOT" on Amazon and I was wondering why not get the extra 3% per prime purchase? Also, I heard that if we are already Prime Amazon members that we get 5% on purchases...is this true? I just hate the fact that we are letting savings go down the drain by not having this card. What are your thoughts??? Thanks in advance.

if you already are a prime member then the store card for 5% is best IMO. not to mention you'll get a much higher limit. the only benefit of the chase card is the 2% category but that's nominal if you spend most of your money on amazon.

I too would go for the store only card ..... I would have opted for it it if I didn't already have the Chase. I don't use my Chase Amazon outside of Amazon anyway so the "Visa" privildge is pointless for me.

Store card for sure. I use it all the time! The no interest purchases are the best!

Unless you don't already have something for 2% dining/gas/whatever, not much going for the Amazon Visa. You can get 5% with the store card, which is more than 3%. The 2% categories are nice on the Chase card, but basically meaningless if you have other decent cards.

It's nice that the Chase card is a Visa you can use anywhere, but like I said, there's better options for spending on outside of Amazon.

Unless you really want a card to use everywhere I'd go for the store card.

This

The two percent category covers restaurants, gas, and drug stores, but so does the Citi double cash. Get the Prime card pronto. The Chase Amazon no longer benefits me.

Amazon store card for sure! 5% or defered payments as an option.

Plus call in once you get the card and ask for $25,000 credit limit. Synchrony likes to give big lines to customers.
