i thought it was kinda tough to get. denied with a 674 a couple of years ago (i went with the amazon store card instead)
I applied for the amazon and get the "we need to review more" message, so in the meantime I made a few purchases on amazon.com and actually forgot I had applied for the card. Three weeks later I opened my email and I had a you've been approved message. I logged onto my amazon acct and there it was my amazon visa w/ a CL of $1600 sitting there waiting for me...two weeks after that they upped my credit limit to $2100. My scores were over 620 but under 650 at the time. I have had the card for 8 months now..I love that card Moral of my story is never give up...chase is awesome
well partner just applied for the store card and it's not instant.
I recently went joint on a southwest card but I would LOVE to get my own chase card, but I also don't want them to get my application and then see the joint account and close it or something because they hate my credit or history!

I am really trying to get the Amazon VISA also. I am wondering if you would mind providing a bit more info about your credit history? You mentioned you had scores under 650 but over 620, and you were approved? I applied, and I received the same "pending 7-10 day" decision, but I already have a CHASE Freedom Plus VISA.
Someone else mentioned cutting one of their other CHASE cards and using that cut limit towards the Amazon VISA. How difficult is it to do that?
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
I applied for the amazon visa about a year ago and also got the 7-10 wait reply. I called the recon number and it turned out I had been approved, but for a small amount. When I asked if that could be changed at all the rep checked my history and increased it to $2000.
They're doing some kind of promotional deal right now where you get tons of points for using the amazon visa.
