Amazon ??

Pupeitmeister — Mon, 07 Apr 2014 21:58:24 GMT

Does Amazon do "shopping cart trick"? or is it just an ad, when I bought something today, I had an "get this card now" with $30.00 bonus blah blah, (chase version) at my checkout page... It did say apply now on the bottom right.

Hey buddy!!

It'll be a HP once you click on that "submit"

Or you can prove me wrong and try it and let me know the outcome lol

I'll be joining you soon in your thread about my payoff strategy as well...

It's an add to get you to apply.

No, its just advertizing. For an inferior product.

You want the Sallie Mae Mastercard for purchases at amazon.com, since it gives 5% cash back up to $750 a month at Bookstores (amazon.com)

The Amazon store card is a waste of time. If you do get a card, you should get the Chase Amazon card.

Imo i think the store card to amazon is better than the chase version as the store card as 0% offers not to mention its by GE so decent limits also

It does have better promotions if you are looking to finance large purchases. GE Amazon offers promotional APRs periodically. But the card bill is hard to pay--no joke. And they lose your payment. They don't send you a physical card either. They send you a paper with the account number on it. If you want to earn points on purchases, get the VISA.

LOL...

I am in the garden right now, my UTI is WAY too high.. I have 4/12 cards showing over 80% usage.. and scores on EQ plummeted from 702 to 606 due to inquiries and maxing almost half of my available credit... all accounts are showing usage.. I expect to be a year out from apping for anything else.. maybe a few months less if i can get things back in shape after some "out of work time"...

I was just curious as to why I never noticed the "ad" before.. (It was for the chase visa version amazon card)...

I like the looks of Sallie Mae Card. hmmmm.. something to chaw on while I pay down debt..

The Ad pops up occasionally. The highest offer I ever received was for $75, though lately I see $60 or $30 offered. I order from Amazon frequently.

I also got a targeted $60 GC ad today, ironically, after I unfroze my reports.

I love my chase amazon card. I know everyone here loves sallie mae more, but for me it makes more sense. I eat out a lot and spend a lot of money at office supply stores the 2% back really helps. Also, you have to spend 600 dollars on amazon to make up for the 30 dollar gift card they give you for the chase amazon and i dont have to worry about limits on rewards.
