Re: Affinity NERF for existing users

@ptatohed 

 

Naw, why would you remove it? I see you have Chase already, but Affinity has its own set of benefits that Chase can't match. If you have any substantial spend at Amazon, $1000/mth is still a solid hustle, and you're not 'attached-to-the-hip' with Prime if you don't want to be. That's some hefty spend monthly.

 

I mean obviously the card is not nearly what it used to be with the Hi5 categories, but this is a CU that clearly reviews their rewards structure often and offers what they can sustain at that time. The Hi5 structure simply couldn't exist in this high inflation Bidenomics-era. But the CU is great and who's to say they won't restructure (for the better) the rewards once the economy levels back out.

 

Don't give up on it yet.

@ZackAttack  No I did not know that Amazon was coded as a bookstore. Most of my Amazon spending is from gift cards someone has given me. Actual credit card spending maybe 6 times a year at most. Sometimes I can find better prices than what Amazon charges elsewhere.

This is how I knew. The 5% CB on the Affinity Card only works via the website. So if you use the Prime Video or something else (like music or Amazon Pay) you won't get it compared to the Chase Amazon
