Chase Amazon
- Earn a total of 5% cash back on up to $1,500 in purchases at restaurants from March 1st through May 31st, 2018
Our Verdict
Seems like most if not all Chase Amazon cardholders got this e-mail. 5% cash back at restaurants is as good as it gets, usually the best long term option is the Barclaycard Uber card offering 4% cash back. This card recently added 5% on Whole Foods purchases, shame this restaurant 5% isn’t being added permanently.

Tried the link yesterday, ... sorry not eligible. Get email today ... "Because you're a valued cardmember, you'll automatically earn a total of 5% Back on up to $1,500 in purchases at restaurants from March 1 through May 31, 2018."
Good luck to those still waiting.
I tried the link but was unsuccessful :( I tried calling Chase to see if I could be part of the promotion but the overseas people basically said no :( I've never been targeted for any of the offers on this card.
Congratulations to Chase! After at least a year and a half of not using the card even once, I will be using this card again with this promotion!
I did not get email, but was able to activate with the link in the post.
nobody should really care about this. if this was perm change then thats really good. otherwise, meh. this is not UR dude.
It's 5%... you can't get any better than that, doesn't need to be permanent to be useful.
it all depends on what ur after. 5% CB can be good for anyone who only focuses on CB and doesnt give a shit about travel. thats fine. but thats a pretty limited view if u play this game. i would rather have 3x UR over 5% CB. or buy a GC at 5x+ UR. use MPX even. i would also go for USB Flex Gold at 3x for 1.5 cpp fixed. so many options.
That's just it. It's all a game 2 u.
3x * 1.5 = 4.5 cents
5% = 5 cents
5 > 4.5
How is 4.5 Flexperks better than 5%?
It is actually 3x flexperks which are rated at 1.5 cents per point. I have USB Gold and Black flexperks. I am so glad to be able to stop using my Gold for restaurants now! .5% extra with this perk on my Amazon card. And I'll be going Altitude Reserve (if Freedom stops mobile 5%) so I am really wanting to leave my USB Gold behind (ew $89 fee).
FlexPerks are (potentially) worth 1.5 cents apiece.
Not sure about Flexperks, but I’d definitely put 3% UR above 5% CB. Big question is whether CSR annual fee after travel credit, etc is worth the difference of value. Man, I sure hope I’ll have this option sometime soon! I miss my Citi Forward card a lot!
Didn't get any email and I get a message of "We can’t enroll you with the information you provided" when I fill out the online form. :(
Same result for me :(
I didn't get an email and I get the same message - no dice.
No soup for me, either.
Actually, I've never been targeted for a Chase promo. :(
Same
Same here.
Same here. I use the card regularly, but only at Amazon. This weekend at Whole Foods I was the first time I’ve used it physically.
Same we must be the unlucky 2 that didn't get targeted :D
Same here, I never get emails from Chase about any of these offers but I’m usually able to get them. Might give them a call and see if it shows up under my account.
As a follow up, just called and the CSR only mentioned 5% back at Amazon and Whole Foods. Back to the ziplock bag it goes.
Whew, 5% on restaurants and Amazon, feels like the Citi Forward card was ressurrected.
Given the heavy push to promote I feel like it's only a matter of time until you see a much increased signup bonus in Whole Foods.
