Our Verdict

I can’t get this $200 offer to show, but Reddit user vaudevillevik reports seeing it. I wouldn’t be surprised if this offer becomes more widely available for tomorrow, July 1st, when the Amazon Visa card from Chase gets the bump to $200, as we reported previously.

The standard offer on the American Express Amazon Business card has been $125 and sometimes has a spend requirement (we did once see an offer for $225 some time ago). This offer is bumped to $200 and has no spend requirement making it a sweet time to sign up.

The Visa card has the advantage over the Amex version since the 5% is unlimited on the Visa versus $120,000 cap on the Amex. I’m not sure if the Amex version gets the increased cashback rates of up to 25% on select products that the Visa version gets.  I suppose some people like the Amex since it’s a business card and doesn’t add to your 5/24, or simply if they use it for a business. Let us know if there are any other reasons you prefer one over the other.

  • Just logged into my personal Amazon and at the top of the 'Your payments' account page is an offer for a $200 Amazon gift card upon approval of Amazon Business Prime Amex card with no spend requirement.

    • I've never heard of a 1099 on similar bonuses, but it's a good question - why not - given the lack of spend requirement.

    • Yes, I applied for the personal and business cards on the same day and got approved for both. Received the $200 GC instantly for each as well.

  • It shows up now with an end date of Jul 13. Not until 2 pm. Unfortunately, instantly declined in my case because of a return payment 29 days ago.

  • I saw the $125 giftcard and applied instantly approved. Today morning extra $125 has been added to my amazon balance. An this is mu 2nd time getting the bonus! Last time when It was first launched I got that card. This time I was logged into a different amazon account.

  • Approved instantly and $200 Amazon GC showed up in Amazon account a few minutes later. Also signed up for the Amazon Business account and got the $50 GC in the Business account instantly.

  • Showing for me. Stupid question, I know, but is there any downside? No hard pull if you already have Amex biz cards, no? And doesn’t count toward 5/24 of course. Only Amex limit.

    • Correct, the only downside is that it occupies a slot for the AmEx 5 credit card limit.

  • showed as 200 for me with normal prime subscription, got approved, waiting on the gift card.

  • How long did it take everyone to get their gift card once you were approved for the card?
