The Offer
The Amazon Chase credit card and Synchrony store card are running the following promotion:
- Amazon Prime members get 6% cashback on all Amazon and Whole Foods purchases made on Prime Day 2022 (July 12 – July 13) using their Chase Amazon Prime Rewards Visa card.
Our Verdict
This is an annual deal for Prime Day and a nice little perk for Prime members. I usually stock up with an Amazon reload (our affiliate link here and below) during Prime Day to get the extra 1%. You can also load up on Whole Foods gift cards or any other third-party gift card at the increased 6% rate.
Be aware of how much you are loading if you are also stacking this with the “spend $50 on an egift card, get $12.50” listed here: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/begins-7-12-amazon-prime-buy-50-amazon-giftcard-or-reload-get-12-50-promotional-credit/
It will all be copacetic if you are able to use the $12.50 which I think expires a few weeks later. So if you are chasing the extra 1% and reload for months worth of spending, you might not use up your $12.50 in time (unless there’s a way to selectively apply your promo credit later). And doing the math, the $12.50 bonus is equivalent to the extra 1% if you were to reload at $1250. I have no plans on spending that much in the near future but may top up my reloads just a touch anyway.
Joe Amazon allows you to deselect your gift card balance as your payment method
$12.50 promo expires 8/28 per the terms.
You also don’t have to reload your balance, you can buy a gift card and not load it. I don’t know about anyone else, but I keep a lot of Amazon money around, accumulating from Chase/BoA/Amex offers to Office Depot, Staples, etc.
Chuck, regarding “Seems it’s only on the Chase Amazon card, not on the Synchrony Amazon card (?).” – that’s incorrect. I’m getting 6% on the Synchrony Amazon card too. It shows that at checkout: https://i.imgur.com/E2OJqk0.png
I’ll update thanks
I just got this offer that must be activated: You’ll earn 3% back at grocery stores and 5% back at Home improvement stores and restaurants for every dollar spent on your Amazon Rewards Visa Signature® Card – up to $1,500 in combined purchases.
Chuck ”This year I’ll load up my Amazon balance with a Chase Freedom cards for 5x rewards on Amazon during Q2 2022” – I think you should make it more clear that you are loading up your balance in Q2 (now through June 30), and not on Amazon Prime Day which is in Q3.
Done, thanks
How generous!!!!
Also received an email for a $20 statement credit for adding an authorized user and spending $100.
LAME. The card already offers 5% back. Why not offer 10%???
Because that would cost them 4% more.
There is also a $200 sign up bonus for new card holders + prime on 7/1.
are you sure? how do you know?
Could you share the link?
It’s in the press release. Maybe I’ll post now and repost on the 1st
