We're
excited to let you know about changes to your Amazon Rewards Visa Signature Card.
No action is required on your part - keep using your card the same way you do today - all of the new benefits apply to your account automatically. Shop and earn, it's that simple.
What is changing?
Eligible Prime Members earn 5% Back on Amazon.com purchases
If the Amazon.com account associated with your Amazon Rewards Visa Signature Card has an eligible Prime membership, you'll earn 5% Back on purchases from Amazon.com. Eligible Prime memberships only apply to Amazon.com accounts (and not accounts on any other affiliated websites outside the U.S.) and may include, in Amazon's sole discretion: annual and monthly Amazon Prime subscriptions and members of their Amazon Household (
excluding Amazon Prime Video and invited guests of an Amazon Prime account), Amazon Prime Fresh, Amazon Family,
Amazon Prime Student and trial memberships of Amazon Prime. Each member of an Amazon Household with an eligible Prime membership is considered to have an eligible Prime membership in their own right.
No foreign transaction fees
As of January 10, 2017, there are no foreign transaction fees on international purchases made with the Amazon Rewards Visa Signature Card.
Office Supply Store purchases will earn 1% Back
As of June 1, 2017, you will no longer earn 2% Back at Office Supply Stores. However, you can earn 3% or 5% Back depending on Prime eligibility status when purchasing office supplies at Amazon.com. To learn more please visit amazon.com/myrewardscard and see your Rewards Program Agreement for details.
Your card design
You will receive a new card with a new look in 2017. Until then, you can keep using your current card. All the new benefits apply to your account now regardless of when you receive your new card.
What is staying the same?
Your APR that varies with the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal), credit line, and account terms all remain the same.
Earn a minimum of 3% Back on Amazon.com purchases
You will earn 3% Back on Amazon.com purchases if the Amazon.com account associated with your Amazon Rewards Visa Signature Card does
not (uh... "not?") have an eligible Prime membership.
You will continue to earn 2% Back on purchases at restaurants, gas stations, and drugstores, and 1% Back everywhere else you use your card.
Other account benefits
You will continue to enjoy a suite of benefits when using your card account, including Purchase Protection, Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver, and Visa Signature Concierge Service. Visit

Am I earning 5% Back or 3% Back on Amazon.com purchases?
When you earn 5% Back at Amazon.com: If the Amazon.com account through which you applied for your card account has an eligible Prime membership and your card account is loaded into that Amazon.com account, your card account will automatically earn 5% Back. However, if you switch Amazon.com accounts, use multiple Amazon.com accounts, or your card account is loaded into multiple Amazon.com accounts, then your card account may not automatically earn 5% Back and may instead earn 3% Back. In such cases, you will need to confirm your card account number and select your card account on that Amazon.com account with eligible Prime membership in order to earn 5% Back. To learn how, visit the "Manage Payment Options" page via "Your Account" page at Amazon.com.
When you earn 3% Back at Amazon.com: If the Amazon.com account through which you applied for your card account does not have an eligible Prime membership, your card account will earn 3% Back on Amazon.com purchases. If your card account is currently earning 3% Back and is loaded into an Amazon.com account with an eligible Prime membership, you will need to confirm and select your card account to earn 5% Back. To learn how, visit the "Manage Payment Options" page via "Your Account" page at Amazon.com.
Your card account will no longer earn 5% Back at Amazon.com and will earn 3% Back instead, if the Amazon.com account from which you applied for your card account or the Amazon.com account you confirmed and selected to earn 5% Back:
no longer has an eligible Prime membership;
no longer has your card account loaded in that Amazon.com account;
is closed;
is used to select a different card account to earn 5% Back at Amazon.com; or
is used to apply for another Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature card account that is approved and loaded in that Amazon.com account (that new card account will earn 5% Back at Amazon.com).
Whether a purchase earns 3% Back or 5% Back is determined at the time your eligible Amazon.com purchase is made.
Please refer to your Rewards Program Agreement for details.
To see what you earned on previous Amazon.com purchases, visit your chase.com accounts page, select your Amazon Rewards Visa Signature Card, and view your transaction history.
