Amazon 5% card that isn't Chase?

[dlister70]

I decided not to renew Amazon Prime this year.  I don't watch Prime video, or use really any other feature other than free shipping and you can get free shipping by spending $35 anyway, so I figured I'd see how I did without it.

But I forgot that the Chase Visa changes to a 3% card when you don't have Prime.  I'm curious if there's another card option that's 5% that does not require having Prime?

Affinity FCU Cash Rewards Visa.  Limited to $1K per month.

Affinity, Amazon by Syncrony and Amex Amazon Business(granted 3% withhout prime).  Sure there are others that code Amazon as 5% least on quarters such as Discover, Freedom and likely other CU's

Usb shoppers visa offers 6% on two retailers you choose (from a limited list). I picked Amazon and walmart. Also good for 3% at Costco and sams. $1500/quarter.

Edit

There's a $95 af, waived first year, $250 sub.

Extra bonus, the card lights up for tap to pay (im easily amused)

nfcu flagship to change the cost of prime to $49 instead of $139 is something to consider

And they offer a $400 sub. I'm sub crazy!

There are plenty 5% cards for Amazon. Anyway, there are some downsides due to dropping from Amazon Prime membership, such as reduced delivery speed, shipping cost and no free return (shipping free).

I think that new Wells Fargo card gets 4%.

I mean, if you don't spend a ton at Amazon and don't mind a little hassle just use other 5% cards to get a balance:

Buy no fee Visa/MC at Staples with Chase CIC

Buy Amazon card at CVS with Custom Cash

Buy Amazon card at a grocery store with PayPal debit card

Etc.

I've been enjoying the 6% (and currently 7%) cash back using my Chase Prime card, with no-rush shipping.  I ordered the kids a $300 Oculus today and got 7%.  So, an extra $6 CB.  An extra 1 - 2% CB beats the old 'digital dollars' they offered.  Not that those had no use though.  I just got the NFCU Flagship so I'll be paying $49 for Prime instead of $139 (but don't forget, the $139 is taxed in many states).  But, yeah, otherwise Affinity, maybe paired with a 5% rotator which might give 5% on Amazon and/or PayPal a quarter or two per year.  Or, the BoA CCR at 5.25% on-line if you have Plat Honors.

Looks like no special hoops to jump through to join the credit union either?  I'll give this one a try, thank you!
