Disadvantages
- Though it appears to be a no annual fee card, actually you need to remember that Amazon Prime Membership costs you some money every year.
- You will earn 5% or 3% Back only on the first $150,000 in purchases each calendar year, 1% Back thereafter.
- They only allow you to hold one of this card at a time, therefore you can’t increase the cap by holding multiple of this card.
Recommended Application Time
- We recommend you apply for this card after you have a credit history of at least two years and you are very comfortable with the credit card game.
Summary
For Amazon Prime members who spend heavily on Amazon, 5% cash back is a very solid return. This card is similar to the Chase Amazon Prime personal card in many respects. Previously, some people may have been hesitant to put too much spend on Chase cards, or they may have been blocked by Chase’s 5/24 rule and unable to get the Chase version. With the new US Bank-issued card, those concerns are no longer an issue. When the Amazon business card was previously issued by AmEx, some people may also have been reluctant to use up an AmEx card slot for it. Now that the issuer has switched to US Bank, that concern is gone as well. That said, US Bank is generally known to be relatively strict with approvals, which could still be a hurdle for some applicants.
