Why would anyone take this in a Chase card over an Amex?

Any word if it's actually MR, or as they describe it, cashback?

I’d say sign up sooner than later. Public offer for the Prime edition is a $125 Amazon GC upon approval and I don’t see how 5% CB is sustainable.

ROFL. You do realize that Amazon has had a 5% CB card for quite a while already.

Why the crazy excitement for Amex?
I'm more pleased that it's a Business card that won't count against 5/24

Only getting the %5 on the main prime account, not for family members. Is that the way it's supposed to be?

Are there any other BUSINESS credit cards that offer comparable points/cash back at Amazon?

Thanks Dan!
Is it correct to assume you're referring to buying Amazon GC's with the Ink Cash? (Which actually nets more value than 5%)

I actually plan on getting the ink Cash next for this very reason but it still involves an extra step. Also harder to file and itemize expenses when using business cards to purchase gift cards

I'm happy for all those still nailing chase... but how?? Everyone I know has gotten shutdown by chase.
Have you heard of ppl who only have personal cards being shut down by Chase?
As of now I only have/had their personal cards but i want to get their 3 business cards in the future

it happens both ways (losing personal not biz, and losing biz not personal) but impossible to predict...
