Very nice. Thanks for the post. I’ve been waiting for this to happen for a while now. Glad it’s finally here.

It'd be nice if they extend this over to the Sync banked Amazon card...finally give use to the card they mail you for a online only merchant.

Sweet deal, but not surprised since they own them, need to boost business somehow lol.

Whole Foods just built a location up the road, so will have to check it out.

Only been to one once before and was jawdropped on the pricing they have (meaning they are high!!!)

however, now wince amazon owns WF, hope the prices DROP! then the prime visa will see some use!!!

That's definitely nice to know we have the 5% back at Whole Foods. I kind of figured they would do something similar to their Amazon site after they aquired Whole Foods. I don't go there very much actually, never been there at all. Maybe I'll have to start taking a trip there and check it out.

Not sure if this was posted:

No word on Synchrony Amazon store card, though.

Was speculated, but no one knew for sure.. Glad this is happening as eat lunch their alot..My next predictions is Whole Food will be come also a more of a market for Amazon Fresh to expand that product line/feature into many more markets than it is currently in.

It's been posted, but "Whole Foods" is truncated from the thread title in the topic list.

Maybe a moderator can merge the threads and make it so Whole Foods is obvious in the subject line.

Please remember that Amex BCP is 6% at Whole Foods up to first $6000, which at Whole Foods means less than two grocery carts of vegan organic cheeze with no added BPA!

I prefer to keep it simple and you never get the full 6% back IMO on the BCP due to the redemption thresholds and not to mention the AF of the card, obviously it depends how much grocery shopping ones does to dictate whether the BCP is worth the AF.. Where-as the Amazon Prime Visa if you use 2 day shipping, movies, shop at amazon alot is a heck of a deal at least for me considering I spend over 10k a year on amazon and now they will get more out of my as well from whole foods... Amazon has its stores now, just a matter or time until they acquire or open a bank as they are already working on their own shipping company not to long in the future as they spend over 20 billion in shipping alone last year... Kinda scary

Why is that? there are store cards and GC's taken at various stores probably including whole foods already. So they certainly can handle it and Sync Amazon cards are coming in plastic if I am not mistaken already due to brick and mortar amazon stores and probably for the fact partially of forseeing this merger happening as well. Can easily be done.

They are coming in plastic.

I just don't see it happening. The profit margins through whole foods aren't as high as through Amazon purchases itself (like when someone buy's a PS4 on Amazon.com). Amazon would need to give up 5% of their profits every time the card is used. With the Chase card, Chase pays the rewards. I picture this card being a 5% discount at the register instead of the traditional rewards method.

I highly doubt chase pays the 5% CB all by themselves.. Without seeing the agreement that is a big stretch. I would tend to believe Chase/Sync do not eat most of that 5%, but instead Amazon does. Without seeing the exact details of either contract it is pure speculation. Each bank whether Sync/Chsae they are hoping to make interest off the charges as with Sync you either get 5% back or 0% financing and with Chase you get 5% back. Just my 2 cents on that.

Even more of a reason to not give 5% cash back at a low profit margin business like a grocery store.
