Re: Chances of getting approved for Amazon Rewards Visa Signature for first card?

They would just have to agree to write a letter confirming they supplement your income $x each month. My parents were willing to verify a $400 / month supplemental income for me and listed that as an "additional asset" on my app (never actually received that amount monthly though - we arrived at that amount based on car insurance and the cell phone bill they were paying anyway).

The Amazon Rewards VISA is one of the easiest cards to be approved for. If your credit is 630 or more it’s no problem. Every card no matter the limit is a visa signature. If going over seas tho I’d recommend a Capital one with a thin file. It’s no foreign transaction fees. This Amazon card isn’t a high tiered card. I know a few have said it is.

Not sure about your chances if you aren't pre-qualified with Discover. But I'm sure your chances are still better than with Chase. If you're interested, you could get the secured version of the card. It still earns the same cashback on gas and restaurants as the unsecured card. From reading this forum, it seems that it also typically unsecures at around 7 months or so.


 

That's true. And being able to see my TU FICO score would be pretty great... Based on what others have posted here though I'll try apping Amazon for the 0% FTF/Visa global acceptance and a relationship with Chase and save the Discover for after. Or later to maximize the matchback. Thanks for the suggestion and info! I totally just assumed the secured card didn't have any benefits and forgot about Discover when I didn't prequalify.

Just to verify. If I am approved for a Chase Amazon Rewards, it will not count towards the 5/24 rule. Correct? I am at 4/24 now and want to apply for the Chase Freedom in a few more months.

Chase Amazon will count towards 5/24 just like any other credit card. Why did you think it wouldn't?
