Amazon.com Store Card
« on: March 31, 2015, 12:25:06 PM »
this is not the regular Amazon Rewards Visa, rather a diff credit card. Spend more than $149 on a purchase and you'll get the option of either 0% financing for a set period of time or a flat 5% cash back. The store card has no annual fee, fraud protection, and is backed by Synchrony Bank. If you're an invited guest to a Prime account, you'll need to create your own account to be eligible.

If you use Amazon Prime frequently, and pay off your debts every month, it seems to be a no-brainer. But if you tend to carry a balance, you'll want to stay away or potentially get nailed with a hefty 25.99% APR.

Any Thoughts?

I'd rather use a credit pull on cards that give signup bonuses.  Some of which give 5% back at places that sell Amazon GCs...

But none give 9% back.

This makes ZERO sense, why would someone want an extra pull from Synchrony Bank?

You can also get a lot of deals from Amazon for signing up for credit cards at http://www.amazon.com/compare-credit-card-offers/b/ref=footer_ccmp?ie=UTF8&node=3561432011 which you can find at the bottom of the home page under credit card marketplace. From what I understand it's the only place you can get a deal for discover card (barring a deal in the mail).

Woo-hoo!! Sign up for an Amazon CC and receive $50 off your first purchase, almost as good as the free bottle of soda at Walmart deal  ;)!!
