Do you live by yourself? A lot of Amazon marketing pushes for the home's needs. Nothing wrong with that. share the cost of Prime membership with your family and save money at the same time. your credit will get stronger for it using the card

I live with my boyfriend and our son. I do all of the online ordering for all of us, but Amazon still doesn't get much. My parents live in the same town but my mother is one of those who thinks she will "get hacked" if she buys anything online. LOL So probably no sharing the prime cost there. I got an offer for 30 days free in the mail but didn't even activate it.

I think this just shows that you should only get store cards that are right for you.  An Amazon store card would be great for me and I plan on getting one next month.  I buy a lot from Amazon and could use the 5% back and the no interest part for large purchases.

You have great scores so I don't think you need this card.  You could just put it in a sock drawer and see if they let you keep it.

I agree. I already took the pull for it and the hit on AAoA so I might as well keep it. I will try to keep it open and make good use of it. At least it does not have an AF!

You don't get both.

I would use it once every 6 months.

Well I finally used the card. Bought a blinking light for my dog's collar for $3.97. I didn't feel so bad not using Discover since I only gave up 39 cents in cash back. I'll find something else to buy in a few more months.
