Same here.

I just had my two-year anniversary with my Chase Amazon Visa, and I have yet to ever get one of the targeted offers.

I got mine in 2004, and still no offers!

Lol I don’t think I have spent over 150$ on the card since I got it in July! have no clue why I got targeted for this haha.

I will gladly use this for bills for the next 3 months. This is an easy 100$ back in just 3 months on bills I would have to pay anyways.

Yep, it should be decent amount. It could be Amzn just trying to get people to use the card, so they are not targeting those who already use it heavily.

I did begin to diversify from amazon, it is not always the cheapest solutions. Sometimes I do find better deals with walmart (ebate has 10% on some items at walmart), chewy, etc.

Is it capped, tho?

Yes it is capped at 10k. So still not bad at all!

I didn't get the targeted email either, but there's a link on DoC that you can use to activate the offer manually. I tried with my card, and it said my card wasn't eligible for the offer. Then, I used my DW's card, and it worked. So you guys should give it a shot!

I received this offer today as well. Maybe they're wanting me to use the card for something other than Amazon. I've had it for a couple of years now and have never swiped the card anywhere. It was loaded into my account upon approval and have never seen a purchase outside of Amazon. I looked today and I never even removed the activation sticker on it. At least now I have a little incentive to use it outside of Amazon.

Did I read correctly can be used for health insurance?

If so $$$$

I need to remember to use it for bills that are on autopay

Got this offer in an email about an hour ago. I want to say this is the second or third targeted email I've gotten for my Amazon Prime card since I got it a little over a year and a half ago. I got one that offered 10% back at Whole Foods and I want to say another around the holidays that was 10% back at Amazon. Definitely going to put all of my autopay bills on this card for a few months.

I received this offer last year, except it was on the Chase Freedom. It's a nice offer. Get all you can out of it!

A $10000 cap is huge, allowing up to $400 more cashback (if you have the bills). Whereas a lot of the Citi offers are capped at $25CB!

There's a lot of detail on the DoctorofCredit site.

Rewards Categories: Internet, Cable, and Phone Service category merchants provide internet, cable, satellite television, radio, cellular, wireless data, and landline services.
In addition, if you purchase or pay for your internet, cable and satellite television, phone or related services in a merchant’s store that is not registered by the merchant in the applicable services category, the purchase or payment will not qualify; for example, phone bill payments in a merchant’s store that register to Chase as a telephone equipment store.
Utility category merchants provide electric, household fuel, water, and sanitation.
Please note that purchases of equipment and some merchants that sell utility-related goods and services are not included; for example, electronics or other retail stores and merchants offering maintenance and cleaning services.
Insurance category merchants provide health, automobile, homeowners, medical, and life insurance.

Same here. I seem to get a few targeted offers on this card and I'm wondering if its because I just don't use it anywhere other than Amazon and this is their incentive to nudge me. Like LTL mentioned, most of the offers I've received are capped at $25 and I've never used them because I seem to always find myself in the middle of obtaining a sub when said offers appear.
