Our Verdict
Let’s hope Prime Day is better this year than last year, the card currently comes with a $50 sign up bonus so it’s definitely not worth signing up for. But a nice little benefit if you already have the card. I’ll leave you with this hilarious video about prime day last year.
Hat tip to B.D.Da’ehu on DDF
Can anyone give me a reason why I shouldn’t cancel my Chase Amazon Rewards card? It bothers me that they just cancelled the promotion midday without warning. I ended up applying for the Amazon Store card and getting an instant $50 gift card anyway since the VISA30 promo no longer worked. I will happily take the 5% back on all my purchases from now on vs Chase’s 3% back.
Since the old Visa card doesn’t have any annual fees, I wouldn’t cancel it since canceling cards hurts your credit. I also wouldn’t use it, however.
After wading through a pretty lousy organization of their Prime Day (it was so difficult to search for just Prime Day deals within categories that weren’t so broad they were 25 pages deep), I, too, couldn’t apply the discount. I called Amazon and I got a distant call center (did not appear to be the usual one) with someone difficult to understand. The gist was that Amazon had the right to cancel the offer “at any time” and did so at noon today. They would not apply it to my order. I’m less than pleased with Amazon.
Same error here. Very annoying.
I got the promotion expired message also. Said the heck with using the card!
Is this working for anyone? I’m getting that the code isn’t eligible with a $188 item in my cart and the Chase Amazon Visa selected as payment method.
I’m getting “The promotional code you entered has expired.”
Dang.
same here. Amazon is fking stupid
Got the same error. I placed my order as normal with my Amazon Visa and just messaged Amazon afterwards. They’ll credit $30 once it ships.
Sorry for the repost, but I want this message to go in the correct place. Once I saw what Ryan had typed, I was hopeful they would do the same for me. When I asked them about it, however, they said that they had ended the promotion early because too many people had used it already.
Same error here.
I had been wondering if I could use this offer more than once. Upon visiting the informational page, I learned that the offer is “limited to one use per customer and account.” I’m not sure if that means it can be used on a different household account which shares a Prime membership, but I’m guessing not.
I just chatted with a representative about this offer, and they said it was ended early because too many people had used it already. Well, that pretty much ruins Prime day for me.
Oops, that message was meant to be in response to Robert’s message.
Will this only work for card members who are Prime members?
The sale is prime only, so I guess so.
What do you guys think: is the entire purchase going to need to be billed to the card or will I be able to put most of it on GCs and just a small portion on the Visa?
Definitely not the best items for sale. However, I still enjoyed Prime Day. I made like $100 buying the on sale merchandise to resell on eBay etc. A few hours of searching for $100 and some miles and points isn’t too bad.
Also a good day to dwindle the $3,000 of spending I need for my Discover It and Chase Freedom (plus my Chase Amazon now).
I’m definitely going to try to spend more time looking for deals to resell again this year.
