Is the link in Sangreal's post how we activate? Got mine today that just said to log in to my chase account to activate.
The card should have very clear instructions on how to activate it...
Unless they changed it, you should be able to go into the payment options section of your Amazon account and activate it from there.Just said to log in to my chase.com/amazon account and activate. It was really weird and had like no documentation. I'll just call chase Monday and square it away.
The 3 digit code and expiration date should be different.I got my card, wondered how to activate it, because there wasn't really any clear instructions, (the email I got mentioned calling a number to activate or something, but the letter with the card just said some vague thing about logging on to the account).
Anyway, I didn't do either. I was able to use it without any activation. It's the same credit card number as my original amazon chase card.

Mine said to go to chase.com/verifycard
From there, I logged in to chase using my existing credentials. That took care of it
I still haven't received mine. Do I keep waiting or do I contact Amazon about it?
Did you already have the old design? If so, they probably won't send you a new one until your card expires. You can still request a new card.
Yea I have the old design and it expires early next year. I'll just wait, then.

Just request a new one online. You can continue to use the current one until the new one arrives. IIRC it was the same numbers minus the security code on the back.I'll just assume I won't receive the new card anytime soon
So just wondering anybody use Amazon's store card? They always have that promo for 40 dollars, was thinking about snagging it.
I used to, but now that the Chase card gives the same 5% cash back I've stopped using the Store card.
I'm more interested in of there are any drawbacks to getting approved for it and snagging the gift card. I already have the prime rewards card as well.
That's a good attitude to have. Use your credit cards for everything to build your credit, but never spend money you don't actually have. If you can't pay off your statement balance, it's time to stop.This is my first credit card, I mainly got it for the fraud protection and rewards from Amazon (and I am declined on everything else due to no credit history.)
What happens if I go over my credit limit? I searched online, and I'll call if necessary to ask as this isn't urgent. This is hypothetical, I pay my balance immediately to avoid interest, so it's basically like a debit card for me.

I know I'm super late on this but he's right. I got mine like two weeks ago and unlike every CC/Debt card I've ever received, this one had no numbers and ambiguous activation instructions. It was super unclear. I'll probably have to get another one reissued since I've waited so long.
If the number, expiration date, and CVV are the exact same as before, you probably don't have to activate it.
You might need to activate the Amazon benefits though which is on Amazon's site.

I'll give it a thorough check through when I get home and probably call chase customer service. The front of the card had my name, the amazon logo, and I believe there was a CVV on the back but I didn't even see a card number or expiration. It was super weird.
Wow, fucking awesome card. Way better than the Amazon Store Card. I have no need of financing so this thing is perfect.
I've got a different card with 3% back on groceries and gas, so I'm basically set for all shopping needs.
Thank you, OP.
Isn't that a rotating opt-in, though?Freedom is 5% back on groceries right now, BTW.

I'm lazy....
Sounds like they know that the card is a Prime card, and since you're on a primary account (on your temporary one) that goes to 5%. However, it's interesting that it carries over to your family account.So I was getting 3% with my Amazon Visa because I am on a family prime membership.
Opened a new account and started an Amazon Prime trial membership and used this card to make purchases. I noticed that the 5% carried over onto my family prime account as well. I wonder if all I need to do is have my Amazon Visa linked to a main prime account to get that 5%. Going to add it to a friend's and see what happens

The 5% back is a cardholder benefit, not an Amazon account benefit. No matter what Amazon account you're using, if you pay with your card you get the 5%. It doesn't mean other cards on that account earn you any rewards.Sounds like they know that the card is a Prime card, and since you're on a primary account (on your temporary one) that goes to 5%.

I wonder how I can tie it to the main account. 🤔

You have to have Prime for the 5%.
Wasn't there some issue that if you're just sharing Prime you get the standard 3%?
That's why he was surprised he was getting 5% even on his non-Primary account.
No, anybody on Prime gets 5%. I'm even on a grandfathered share account and still get it.
