Re: Amazon Prime Card

okay and when you get your card in the mail is when you can get a CLI. odds are they'll give you a limit of $300-$1000, but once you get it then you can raise the limit via chat

Correct, plus Discover is linked with Amazon so if you have rewards dollars on your card you can use those towards a purchase.


That is absolutely correct, Discover does have their "cashback" linked to Amazon. Just an FYi, never use that unless there is a promotion for $10 back on amazon with the use of 1 cent or $1 in Discover cash. Using this feature takes away from the cashback. 

 

Just to clarify: If you are buying a $1000 item with the current 5% back and the 5% on the back end at the end of the year, you have just gotten yourself $100 in cashback. Now if you are buying the same item but using $500 of your cash back as payment, you will only make $25 with the 5% cashback and another $25 at the end of the year.

 

Pay for all items in full and then just use the cashback as statement credit. Just my 5 cents. Good luck.

Gift cards are twice the value?   I thought it was quite a bit less, like 10% extra

 

ETA: They won't let me have a Discover IT, so can't check myself!

well most of the time its not that great but if you can hold off you get better value. rental cars have always been 2x, last year $50 shell gift cards were $25 if I remember correctly, just depends on the specials....

Re: Amazon Prime Card

I was gonna app for this card. But it says in small print. If you have a BK on your record, don't apply.
