Do Amazon personal cards earn 5% on Amazon business page?

[imaximous]

Hi folks,

I tried looking for an answer, but I couldn't seem to find what I need...

As the title says, do the personal cards by SYNCB or Chase earn 5% or even 3% on purchases made on the Amazon Business page if you have a personal Prime membership? 

I added the Chase card to the Amazon Business profile, but I'm not sure I can link the SYNCB card too. But more importantly, I'd like to make sure I can get 5% or at least 3% for now till I decide on the Amex business version. 

Thanks!

I would try a small purchase and see.  I was thinking of doing the same with the Wifes Sync card but with a current limit of $600 it is limiting.

I would but not enough time to test between now and Monday for the current sales. 

On the Amazon Business site, they mention that the Amex Amazon earns 5% on Amazon.com in addition to the business site, etc.

However, the personal cards don't say anything about 5% on the Amazon Business site, but they don't specifically say there's no earnings either when looking through some of the terms. They simply don't mention anything related to business accounts. You used to be able to extend Amazon Prime to a single Business account, but I can't see that either.

I'm not exactly sure if the personal card works in the business side, but I can say that the Amex Amazon business card works on the personal side.

If you have an Amex card already getting the Amex Amazon business card is practically painless. The app would be a soft pull and it is on your business credit report so it won't effect your personal credit score at all (no inquiry, no new account, no reduction in average age).

I've been very happy with it. I closed my Chase Amazon card after having it for a bit. Only thing you miss out on is sometimes they have deals on Amazon specifically for the Chase Amazon card, but they were never that interesting to me so I didn't mind losing out on them in trade for Amex offers.

Edit - I was able to use my personal Amazon Prime membership for my Amazon Business account, too. I didn't have to pay an extra or increased Prime fee. I did this by logging into my personal Amazon account and then searching for the Amex Amazon Business card and then applying for it through the Amazon site. It all registered without me having to do any extra steps.

Most likely, we'll end up going for the Amex card, but I was hoping to get a definitive answer in the meantime since I have to make somewhat large purchases right now and would really hate to get 1x with the Chase card. If I can get some confirmation from someone that I won't earn 5x, then I'll swap the card to Amex BBP for now so at least it's 2 MR rather than nothing.

I don't want another Prime AF for business, so I'll certainly be doing what you did and applying through the personal Amazon account. Thanks!

I called Chase and the rep I talked to was certain that their card earns the same rewards on the business site, but she mentioned that I'd have to be Prime on both personal and business. If I'm Prime on personal but not business I'd get 3% on the business side.
I hope she's right, but I wish this was more clearly spelled out on the FAQs or somewhere.
The Amex business version does say you earn 5% on both sites. Anyway, I used the 30 day trial on business till we're able to get the Amex card. I'll just have to check in a few days what type of rewards I got with the Chase card.

So, by applying from your personal account, you became Prime on business too? Did you already have an Amazon Business account open or did you open it after getting the card? Just trying to figure out if there's a procedure for this because I can't seem to link my personal Prime account to the business account. I've read that you used to be able to extend Prime benefits to business, but I don't see that option in settings.

Hey Max,

I did not have an Amazon Business account before. I signed up for one right before getting the card and the Prime benefits were shared from my personal. When I got the card it was recognized as a Prime Business account.

I got the Amex Business 5 percent card and it turned out it was only 5 percent if you have prime.  I cancelled it after 10 months.  I hope Amex won't be mad at me.  But the card was pretty useless to me.

Not directly, but implied. The card agreement states "amazon.com", which should include any and all subdomains. I do not have a business account, but I know even AWS purchases earn 5% back (it was 5% last time I tried it). This is Chase's card, btw, and I think the store card might not and is more strict with amazon purchases.
