Here's the checklist:
✅ Active Amazon Prime membership ($139/year or $14.99/month)
✅ Good to excellent credit (670+ credit score)
Not a Prime member yet? The $250 gift card more than covers your first year of Prime, effectively giving you a free membership plus an extra $111 in credit.
Important Details
Chase's 5/24 Rule: While Chase has relaxed some approval criteria for the Amazon Prime Visa, opening this card may still impact your eligibility for other Chase products if you've opened 5+ credit cards across all issuers in the past 24 months.
Prime Membership Requirement: If you cancel your Prime membership, your card automatically converts to the standard Amazon Visa, which earns 3% back at Amazon instead of 5%.
Credit Limits: Recent approvals have ranged from $8,500 to $35,000 depending on creditworthiness and income.
The Bottom Line
This is Amazon's strongest credit card offer of the year. If you're already shopping on Amazon regularly and have decent credit, the $250 instant bonus makes this a no-brainer — especially with holiday shopping season in full swing. The offer ends December 8, 2025, so don't wait if you're interested.
