Whoa, I need to get in on this. I just don't like the idea of putting my social security number and mothers maiden name on a website.

Cash back, not off.
Just your own region. (which is US only in this case)

So what happens if your prime runs out while you have the card?
Most likely you will just get reverted to the 3% bonus offer that has always been available to non-Prime members using the Chase card. If you are worried about that, I would suggest using the Amazon Store Card instead, which offers 5% back without any Prime requirements.
Personally I have 5% on both the Chase card and the Store card now, but I will continue using the Store card for all my Amazon purchases.

Is there a deadline when people can apply for this card?
Yeah the 'fine print' confirms that if you ever cancel Prime you revert to 3%.
I've been using the Chase Amazon Visa as my primary credit card for a while, so I'm happy with this.
No, apparently it just started this week.
No, you get 5% because you're a Prime member ... not because it's a prime product.
go to your account, and manage payment methods, see if there's an upgrade (not sure exact wording) button for your card
Ahh thank you so much. Now upgraded to 5%.

I just got an email about it yesterday I think, so maybe it doesn't immediately happen to everyone at once. (?)
It didnt upgrade me automatically like I guess it did for some people.
Try the method listed above by icespide. It let me upgrade to 5% that way.

Other cards will give you better non-Amazon cashback categories.

I've been a Prime user since 2011. I applied and got approve. I plan on using this card for my typical Amazon purchases and to buy digital giftcards for other stores.
Sorry for dumb question but why does the sign up page says "3%"?

Will it automatically convert to 5% after approval?

Do you have Prime?
Do you have Amazon Prime?

I'm going to Sephora tomorrow to pick up some skincare stuff. Time to use the free 70 gift card to buy a Sephora gift card and then I also get to have Sephora points when I make my purchase in store.
Yes. And always get "Thank you for being a prime member every time I call or chat".
I'm confused, so because I'm a Prime Member I get 5% on all Amazon products?
Edit: okay yes that is the case, cool that makes it an even better deal since it expands its use.

Gonna try applying for one.
I need a credit card to start boosting my credit score

Not yet, but good call on the Apple Pay. I just checked. Has the new design.
No new card yet, approved little over a week ago. Immediately after approval though it showed up in my payment options on Amazon and I could use it for Yakuza and some other stuff.
Edit: Card came in the mail yesterday.

I just got my card today, and it's really nice. I love the weight and feel of it. (First metal card.)

My payment page still says 3% back and I'm on a Amazon Prime family membership. Bummer.
Probably not the best approval odds if it's your first card.
Chase allegedly likes for applicants to have atleast 1 year of payment history with a different card/line.
I suggest Capital One's QuickSilver. I had a dog shit score a few years back and they took a chance with me.
They are sending a new card, but I don't think anyone has gotten it yet.

I got rejected due to my credit history not being old enough, oh well.

Grandfathered family or family family?

To say nothing of the benefits, the physical card showed up the other day and it is simply cool looking. Thick, metal, no numbers on the front. Boss.
I would go to a Chase bank and ask to speak to someone. They may be able to help you out.

you should be able to go to card details and then click something like "find out how to get 5%" then you can upgrade from the 3%.
I read that bit on SlickDeals. I signed up for the card a week or so ago.
I previously was on the fence with the 1%/3% and had not signed up, but the 3%/5% cashback is too good to pass up so i signed up.
I see no reason why one should use a debit card over credit.
Sounds like the Sapphire cards

Cool. Considering jumping on that bandwagon soon as I'm going to start doing a good deal of traveling.
Though I did also notice a negative today... It blocks NFC. Used to be able to get into the various security doors around my office by tapping my wallet, now I have to do a lot of shuffling to hit the spot.
