Our Verdict

Pretty good bonus. Personally I’d probably prefer the $200 instant bonus which ran on Prime Day 2022. In any case, this is a decent offer to consider.

  • Guess it will get 5% to pay estimated tax? The terms does not mention tax excluded.

    • Same got this this morning...seems like they're trying to transition it to a more general card. Too bad.

  • Does anybody know if a husband and wife can each get their own card if their is only one shared Amazon Prime account both use? I'm sure we could do do an authorized user under one or the other, but to maximize this would be nice to get two sign-up bonuses. Thoughts?

    • Yes, I share my Prime membership with my family member via the household sharing function and we both have Prime Visa cards, while a third family member only got the 3% basic version of the card. Chase only cares if you have an active Prime membership, not how you got it or who's paying for it. If you lose the Prime membership, they will downgrade you to the basic card, and if you gain it, they upgrade you to the Prime card, automatically.

      To clarify, if you both log in to the same Amazon account using the same username and password, no, in that case you only qualify for one card. But if you each have your own Amazon account, and one of you pays for Prime and shares that membership with the other's account using the household sharing feature, then you each qualify for the Prime Visa. If you aren't doing that, then just make a new Amazon account first and set up the household.

      If you aren't familiar with the household sharing function, anyone who pays for a Prime membership can share that membership with 1 other person. That person will get Prime for free, and will have access to the first person's wallet (this is probably Amazon's way of making sure you don't share membership with random people).

  • They've also made some changes to the actual cards, detailed in a press release:
    - Updated reward categories
    - Rewards are now earned daily instead of monthly
    - New names (Prime Visa and Amazon Visa)
    - New designs (dark blue with Prime label for Prime Visa and silver with unlabeled logo for Amazon Visa)

    Personally, I think the old dark gray Prime design was better. Now the regular card looks better than the Prime card.

  • Is this the best sign up promo we've seen for this card? It's on the list to get for the occasional 5% back at Whole Foods, but I've been waiting to get a good SUB.

  • For the second part of the offer, is 5% extra cash back, or all purchases, regardless of what category of spend, earn a total of 5% cash back?

    • "Earn a total of 5% back on a maximum of $2,500 in total purchases made with the Prime Visa card that normally earn 2% and 1% back. That’s an extra 4% back in addition to the 1% back you earn on the purchases in the 1% back category and an extra 3% back in addition to the 2% back you earn on purchases in the 2% back category"
