Wait for Holiday signup bonuses?

[Anonymous]

I've been looking to get the Chase Amazon VISA to up my cash back from Amazon from 2% with my Citi DC to 3%, as well as to round out my 3rd card.  I'm planning on pulling the trigger this Friday after my DC reaches 6 months (hopefully along with a SP CLI on the DC itself) and know the current signup bonus is a $50 Amazon Gift Card.

With Halloween being next Tuesday and the Holiday shopping season starting right after (or already in some stores) I'm wondering if I should wait a few weeks for a better signup bonus.  Is that something Amazon even does?  I'm not in any rush to spend the gift card so waiting a few weeks won't kill me.  I'd just hate sign up now and next week the offer is $100.  Would it be a waste of time to just wait?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Amazon card isn't running any kind of special promotion now. If you can wait to app it won't hurt. You'll either get a better deal or the same one.

My DH got a $70 Amazon GC when he applied and got the card.

Discover IT has Amazon on its 5% category this quarter and 10% with first year CB match, something else to think about.

Yea, the $70 Gift Card is if you have Prime and sign up for the VISA Prime card.  I'd rather not chase categories with the Discover card.  Currently I have the BOA 1/2/3 that I use exclusively as a gas card, hopefully soon the Amazon Card for 3% back at Amazon and the Citi DC for 2% back everywhere else.  If the Walmart Card gave 3% back on in-store purchases I'd also be looking at that but unfortunately it only works online where it is just easier to use Amazon.

I'm leaning toward waiting till I actually start my holiday shopping for a better offer.  Anyone know if they increased the bonus last year?
