Hmmm...I might just have to give it a shot then as this seems like a real gem of a card.

 

The 5% on Amazon alone is fantastic as it doesn't force you to pay for Prime like the Chase card does, and the $3,500/month spend cap is quite generous. The *stackable* rotating categories on top of that — coupled with the 5% bookstore and 2% restaurant, grocery, gas, and streaming/rideshare rewards — really take it to another level. And all that with no AF and a $200 sub! Hope this card sticks around for awhile.

 

Will report back after I apply 👀 Appreciate all the info!


Applied this morning...and I was approved! Don't know my SL yet, but very happy to have this card added to my cashback lineup. The 5% + 2% supermarket rewards this quarter are even better than my Amex BCP. Thanks again for the DP, @PullingMeSoftly!

 

For anyone else interested in this card, I'll post my full stats in the Approvals forum once I find out my SL.

 

Update: SL is $18,400. See my post in the Approvals forum for more details.

I let this card fall through the cracks on me! I knew about it, but I missed the rotating categories. I knew it was great Amazon card, but didn't realize it was that good. This cards seems more attractive than the Freedom Flex to me after learning more about it.

@Otto77   So, after looking around on the website I discovered that Affinity now has "NEW! External Funds Transfer"   Thought you might be interested in this.....

Sigh +1, I'm not interested in adding new cards (other than Vantage West, and that was moreso a goal for within the next year).  I also didn't want a card that would overlap with or make other cards redundant regarding Amazon. So I will just monitor with interest for a while.

Congrats @Anonymous way to go! Great SL and you'll see how quickly the rewards will rack up, nice addition to your lineup. Was going to congratulate you on your approval thread, but don't see it there (link doesn't appear to be working either) Cheers!

@PullingMeSoftly Thanks! For some reason, my post in the Approvals forum appears to have been marked as spam. Not sure why as nothing about it was spammy and the mods didn't seem to have any issues with it, but I did message them so hopefully they'll bring it back soon.

@RemediosAh, didn't know that (and the site showed me a big orange banner saying my post was marked as spam). Thanks for fixing it though! I was just adding additional details about my app.
