What initially was a $150 gift card, Amazon has turned into the Chase Amazon Prime Card, which has a value of $250, perfect for spending during the holiday season. This card is only available for online shoppers and becomes available as soon as Prime Visa authorizes the applicant’s eligibility. It is a card with no minimum spending requirement, and the offer is valid until December 1, 2025, Cyber Monday. Although it has no annual fee, it should be noted that applicants pay Amazon Prime’s annual membership fee of $139 per year.
The Prime Visa not only offers benefits for holiday shopping but also gives 5% cashback at Whole Foods Market and Amazon Fresh, as well as on Chase Travel. It also provides 2% and 1% cashback on restaurants, gas stations, and other purchases. It is important to note that the cashback comes in the form of reusable points for Amazon purchases, not as cash.
