Amazon Chase Upgrade

Anonymous — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 22:37:31 GMT

Anyone else get the upgrade letter? It seems like a good thing from what they describe, but I'm afraid of hidden gems.. I'm assuming there won't be a limit reported since it's a signature thing with no pre-set limit. The rewards sound better but I don't really use this card.. Maybe that was their goal, increase my spending.

rewrds limited to 60K net purchases a year , the max cash per year is $600 so even you spend 60k at amzon.com you would have to wait next year year to get more cash, and points expire 48 months after earned

not a problem for me

What kind of upgrade is it? Is it the non-branded upgrade that was talked about a few weeks ago, in terms of Chase no longer offering some of their co-branded cards?

No, it's Amazon.com Rewards Signature Visa. Thanks for the info rbbyrbsn. I will have to move this one closer to the front.

I got the letter a couple days ago too. Seems like an improvement. I use this card when a place doesn't take my Discover, so some odd restaurants tend to show up on it. Will be nice to get more rewards for that. I was already happy with the Amazon gift cards but now I can get cash etc! Their 10x points for utilities/recurring payments this past spring was an awesome deal too.

I got this letter last week. I actually called them two weeks ago asking to upgrade and they said it was impossible to do that with the new laws, without applying for a new card, which I was of course unwilling to do. So getting the letter was exciting to me, since I could only see positive changes on the new card, and no negatives.
