Recently got the Amazon prime memebership so how can I get the Amazon Prime Metal card from Chase?

Apply for it from Chase? Not much more to it than that. Getting the Amazon Prime Membership has nothing to do with obtaining the card. There is a link right on your Amazon page if you want to apply

Oh ok, that makes more sense I'm not sure of the process there. Others will know I'm sure.

It's the same card. The rewards should upgrade on their own. When the rewards were increased in January, the upgraded 5% reward showed up in my Amazon account pretty quickly, but it took a couple of weeks to show on Chase's site. My guess is that the timeline will be about the same if you have the card, then purchase Prime. If you want to be sure, call and ask.

I was in the same boat as you OP. I had the Amazon Chase card but no prime..then I got prime so I called Chase and had them send me a metal version.

Yeah, you'll probably automatically get the upgraded perks of the Prime version of the card and they may even send you a Prime card in time automatically... but calling them up and requesting it I'm sure would speed up that process.

Slightly off topic here, but as far as I know this card even though it's through Chase can't be applied for from the Chase site. Every time I've tried it always directs me to the Amazon site and the application is done from there. I'm also assuming it can't be applied for in-branch either for this reason, but I don't know for certain.

A couple months ago I was told in a chase branch that they do not take in person applications for any of their cobranded cards (Marriott, Amazon, Southwest, etc).

You can apply for both united cards in branch.

you can even be preapproved and bypass 5/24 in branch

My buddy recently called to get the metal card and they told him he has to wait 45 days.

Interesting. I wonder why that is?

Is Amazon Prime Visa Card made out of Metal? It is interesting. What metal is it made out of? How hard is it to get the card?

Not hard to get the card, on par with other Chase cards generally speaking. It's the same metal I believe the the Sapphire card(s) uses.

I have Amazon Store credit card account for last 10+ years. Wish there is an upgrade path to Visa but that is probably not possible since two different banks offer these two cards. I do not want to have a new account added to my credit report at this time.

Yeah, not possible as one is a Synchrony product and one is a Chase product.

So my experience is a bit different than the OP but might still be relevant. I have had the Amazon Visa Card for awhile now. I was automatically upgraded to the benefits of the Prime Visa Card when it was announced in January (been a Prime member for years). I called Chase shortly after the announcement of the new benefits and the metal card to see if they could send me the new metal design. They told me that I had to wait and all existing card members would recieve the new design later this year automatically, but that my current card would get the new 5% back benefit (along with the others perks, such as no FTF).

I waited two months before sending a Secure Message to Chase via my Chase.com account (this was about 2 weeks ago). I simply asked if it was possible to get the new metal card because I am a Prime member and I knew other people that had already recieved their metal cards. Chase responded within an hour telling me they were rushing the card out to me. I was surprised to see the card in my mailbox the next day, delivered FedEx Overnight Shipping.

Very impressed with Chase there. However, due to my vastly two different experiences between my first call and my secured message leads me to believe that YMMV. If one CSR tells you no, just try again, and hopefully you eventually get an awesome CSR like I did who will overnight you the card.

Good post above. Thanks for sharing both the negative and the positive as it provides insight for others that may experience the same issues.

your account should update to prime benefits.

I had already had my prime membership and visa account prior to them changing to the 5% all I did was request a replacement card and got a shiny metal one in the mail a few days later.

My benefits were upgraded on Amazon right away but the new card was never mailed. I finally just requested a replacement card and the new metal card came.

I just got mine in the mail. Its a metal middle sandwiched between two thin layers of plastic. Definitly heavy. I kinda miss my all plastic card though. On the back of it it says "Contains Metal, DO NOT SHRED"...
