I recieved my amazon store card today, and its just a flimsy peice of paper, does anyone else have this card and if so did you later get an actual plastic card or no?

It's just a piece of cardboard, but very important to keep( you won't receive a plastic card). it's the only way you will be able to see your full account number. your account is linked to your amazon account, you can set it as your preferred method of payment if you go through the manage payment options menu.

@New2score i got approved for 1200 with my scores below. they pulled TU

I've swiped plenty of Amazon credit cards. They definitely do exist in actual credit card form

Those would be the Amazon Visa from Chase. The OP is referring to the Amazon store card from GEMB.

To the OP, that is all you get. But make sure that you keep it. That is the only way to know your account number. Just put it in a safe place, you will hardly need it once you use it the first time, as Amazon will store it as a preferred payment method.

Is this paper-card-only a new thing? I have the Amazon store card and a regular grey plastic card with the amazon logo and my account number/name...

Yeah, i think its a new thing (or at least the last couple of years).. My brother got an amazon store card 5 years ago they sent an actual card. However when i got mine a couple months ago, it was just a peice of paper, (kinda like a car insurance card)

TBH, there's really no reason to have a physical card for this account...

PS. If I don't get my "4 month GEMB CLI", I will be dumping this card too.

You should get the increase after your 4th statement assuming they have no issues with your payment history with them....

I opened my account with Amazon 11/27/10. First statement was 12/17/10. My first CLI was a week before the 4th statement generated. My WalMart store card, also through GEMB, did the same thing, except the CLI was two weeks before the 4th statement generated. On both, I had requested a CLI through their websites shortly after making the 4th payments and just before the 4th statement was due to generate. Since reading about the 4 month time frames here on the board I haven't been patient enough to wait for an auto CLI

My CLI on each was 200.00 - YMMV - based on posts i've read from others.

If my CLI is $200, it will be getting dumped. It must be at least $800 to bring the card to $2,000
