Yesterday there was a wave of people that had their Chase Amazon Prime cards shut down. It seems that two reasons have been given:
- Inactivity on the card
- Large spend & cycling credit limits (for example this reddit user had $1,200,000 in spend one month)
It’s very possible the inactivity closures are just standard and not part of a wider shut down and they are getting thrown into the mix because we are seeing the other shut downs. If you were shut down then feel free to share your spend volume etc in the comments below, although most of that discussion is ongoing in private groups. If you’re wondering how people are spending that much on Amazon, some of them are legitimate personal expenses but mostly it’s business expenses (technically a no no on personal cards) and buying group orders. If you’re a normal cardholder you don’t have anything to worry about.
F.A.Q’s
Are Chase accounts getting shut down?
No, just the individual Chase Amazon cards. Other Chase cards and accounts are remaining intact.
What happens to rewards?
Chase gives 30 days after a shut down to redeem unused points before they are forfeit.
