Prime members can boost their savings
If you are a dedicated Amazon Prime shopper, there are several ways you can leverage this credit card for further savings. Check out our list of the best Amazon Prime benefits.
Don't want to pay for Prime?
There's a card for consumers who enjoy shopping at Amazon, Whole Foods, and related companies but don't want to pay for a Prime membership. Chase's Amazon Visa credit card will give you up to 3% cash back at Amazon.com, slightly more than the 2% back offered by a typical cash back credit card. The welcome offer for this card, however, is only $50. The Amazon Visa credit card's variable APR is 19.99%–28.74% to 20.49% and there is no annual fee. While this might sound like a good deal, you should check out our roundup of the best cash back cards for groceries and shopping.
