Amazon Prime Visa

The Amazon Prime Visa Signature Card, issued by Chase, is the single highest built-in cashback rate available for regular Amazon shoppers. Prime members earn 5% back on every purchase at Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market, with no cap and no annual fee beyond the existing Prime membership.

How it works

  1. 01.

    Apply through Chase or your Amazon account; approval requires an active Prime membership.

  2. 02.

    Every eligible Amazon and Whole Foods purchase earns 5% back automatically — no activation, no rotating categories.

  3. 03.

    Cashback posts as Amazon reward points at a 1 point = $0.01 rate and can be redeemed at checkout, for statement credit, gift cards, or travel.

  4. 04.

    Restaurants, gas stations, and local transit earn 2%; everything else earns 1%.

Best for

Households that spend more than a few hundred dollars a year on Amazon and already pay for Prime — the 5% rate pays for itself quickly.

Watch out

The 5% rate ends the moment your Prime membership lapses. Without Prime the card drops to 3% on Amazon, which many flat-rate cards beat.
