The Offer

Direct Link (check if it works for you to activate the offer)

Get a 10% bonus on points earned with your Chase Amazon credit card

The Fine Print

Valid for purchases in June through August, 2017
Must activate bonus by June 30
10% bonus not earned on promotion points

Our Verdict

This offer is for Chase Amazon cardholders, not Synchrony Amazon cardholders. Looks like even non-Prime members are also getting this email. Prime members usually get 5% and will get 5.5% with this offer, and non-Prime get 3% and will get 3.3% with this offer.

The most interesting thing here is that even some of those who didn’t get any email offer from Chase (myself included) were able to activate the offer using the Direct Link above. YMMV, for many people it didn’t work.

5% is from the best options for cards to use on Amazon, and this 5.5% deal sweetens the deal.

I got the same message when I applied. I called in and the CSR was happy to add it to my card but it was already on there. Moral of the story-sometimes call in-

This worked for my Chase RapidRewards card – although what a meager offering, not even worth the time. I thought it was 10% but it’s 10% extra, which on the RapidRewards card is basically nothing useful at all.

Not targeted, didn’t work for me either. Would only have meant an extra 0.3% though.

I got the same error, but when I called Chase to ask about the promotion the rep initially said that it couldn’t be activated until June 1, but said he would try to get me enrolled in the promotion. He then asked how I was contacted about the promotion and I said I received an email (I didn’t)…he then asked me when and I said today…he repeated what I said, but then all of a sudden told me that I was already activated. It was a very strange interaction. Time will tell if I get the additional bonus I guess.
