Amazon credit cards get new names, new looks — and new benefits

Amazon credit cards are getting a refresh.

Chase and Amazon unveiled new benefits on the Amazon Visa card portfolio, providing card members with increased opportunity to earn cash back on purchases made with their card and a newly added feature to earn and redeem their rewards daily. The credit cards also feature updated designs and new names: Prime Visa (formerly the Amazon Prime Rewards Visa signature card)  and Amazon Visa (formerly the Amazon Rewards Visa signature card.)

Card members are now able to earn, view and redeem rewards earned on their card daily, rather than monthly, with the introduction of daily rewards. Prime Visa card members will continue to earn uncapped 5% back on Amazon, while Amazon Visa cardmembers will receive 3% back on Amazon purchases.

In addition, card members can now earn 5% back and 3% back, respectively, on purchases made through Chase Travel, Chase’s new and enhanced travel booking platform. Both Prime Visa and Amazon Visa cardmembers can also now earn 2% back on local transit and commuting, including rideshare.

To celebrate the new benefits, for a limited time, new Prime Visa cardmembers will receive a $150 Amazon gift card and can earn 5% back on all purchases, up to $2,500, for three months after account opening.

New Amazon Visa cardmembers will receive a $60 Amazon gift card and can earn 3% back on all purchases, up to $1,500, for three months after account opening.

“We’re excited to offer cardmembers—whether Prime members or not—even more ways to earn rewards for their Amazon purchases and every day activities,” said Tyler Aldrich, director of Amazon Payment Products. “We’re committed to providing customers value during their shopping experience, and we look forward to introducing more ways for customers to save and earn on Amazon.”

Customers interested in a Prime membership can sign up for a free 30-day trial at amazon.com/prime, and can earn rewards on either the Prime Visa or Amazon Visa during the Prime trial membership period.

The new Prime Visa benefits include 5% back on purchases made through Chase Travel, with an eligible Prime membership, and 2% back on local transit and commuting.

The new Amazon Visa benefits include 3% back on purchases made through Chase Travel and 2% back on local transit and commuting, including rideshare.
