Did you get an email or letter saying it's coming in beforehand? Still waiting on mines and no idea when it's coming. I move in a few weeks so hopefully it's soon!
Just checking my email it doesn't look like I got anything saying I applied however I had mis-typed my Social Security number by one digit when applying so I got a letter in the mail from Chase that I had to call their fraud department to confirm I had really applied so it's possible I may not of gotten the normal treatment.
After I called them and confirmed it was me I got an email right away that I was approved and got the card in the mail about a week later.

Its rewards are not that unusual. You can get similar cash back from many cards for retailers.
Okay, great. I think I'm going to go for this. I actually just applied, lol.
I don't really know much about this stuff because--while I have a credit card--I've seldom used it outside of very large purchases and it's through my credit union which doesn't really offer much in the realm of rewards (just a very low interest rate).
I was approved but I still have a question. I have very good credit, and I was given a "Purchase APR: 19.74% variable"
That seems super high! This is definitely the type of card you never let have a balance after your due date, isn't it? Lol.

Rewards cards are generally high and almost always will be priced higher than a "standard" card regardless of pricing tier. It's also more expensive for the merchants to take a rewards card. Those rewards aren't free. Still, treat it like a bill that must be paid in full each month and you'll be fine.
I'd say ALL credits cards are the type of card you never let have a balance, unless you find one with an introductory 0% APR.

Never pay less than the statement balance on a credit card. Just letting interest accrue once is probably enough to destroy the value of any rewards earned the entire year.
why would you do that? you'd get 5% back on the switch sale from amazon
I already ordered it and I've heard horror stories of changing credit cards on a purchase, losing the pre-order maybe.
Is this the link I use to manage this card?
Since I only applied an hour ago, I'm assuming I can't "enroll" and create a login in until I get the card in the mail and know the card's numbers, right? Unless I can now? I don't know what the numbers are except the last 4 digits since it automatically was placed as my default payment method on Amazon.
Noted. I won't miss a payment, then!

As per your original question, yes I think you would get 5% back on buying Amazon gift cards.
I'm also curious about this.
Yes. You should have received an email from Chase about it.
The Prime is just an extra boost that gives you 5% back rather than 3%.
Yes you create an account on Chase's website for this card. And I'm pretty sure I did have to put in the credit card number while creating the account.

same thing happened to me and all my scores are good, less than 8 hours later i was approved so no clue what the delay was for.
Its not automatic? I was accepted in like 2 seconds.
The same thing happened to me and it turned out I had mis-typed one digit on my social security number and they had to make sure the application wasn't fraud.
Well doesn't this seem kinda silly?
I want to use my card on Amazon, but it says it could take 3-4 weeks to arrive in the mail. If I can't create an account unless I know my numbers, I can't make a payment for 3-4 weeks and that probably risks missing my due date. I don't even know what my due date is!
New cards place the first payment date almost 2 months after opening. For example, I opened a credit card account for Chase Sapphire Reserve on Jan 3rd, and my first payment is due Feb 28th

Few things it could be off the top of my head-- a previous fraud alert on your credit profile, a (somewhat) recent change of address, a typo in the application, the IP address showing a different area than what would be considered "local" to your address, even something as abstract as having a more common name that could trigger a security hit, even though of course the SSN doesn't match.
Essentially, it's nothing I'd worry about on the surface.
We got a big envelope full of advertising about it last week.

Have you actually gotten the physical card yet? You can't make an account until you actually have the card, but once you get it and make an account you just log in and all that info is there.
Yes, I have received the card and I've made the account. I've even used the card on the regular now. All I see on the site is a tab to the far right that says "order history" but it's totally blank and says I have no points yet. And every other tab on the site, there is no section anywhere for transaction history, payment due date, or balance.
This is the site I log into/made the account at:
https://www.chase.com/personal/credit-cards/amazon
Edit: If it helps, I've been using this card on Amazon and elsewhere and on this site as well as Amazon, it says I have no points. What is going on? I've had the card for about a week now.
You will typically get your award points whenever your bill generates.
I don't think your points get added until the end of each billing cycle. As for the other info, I don't know what to tell you. I log in on Chase.com and I get all my info immediately there on the page, showing my balance, available credit, rewards, and transactions beneath that.
Just realized I didn't either :/
your problem is just the url you are using
log into chase.com or in the top left click 'return to my chase accounts'
