The Prime Visa credit card from Chase is offering a limited-time welcome bonus of an instant $250 Amazon gift card upon approval. This offer coincides with the upcoming Prime Day, which starts on July 8 and runs until midnight on July 11. The card, popular among staffers and readers of The Points Guy (TPG), offers substantial cash-back rewards for purchases made on Amazon.
Prime Visa requires an active Prime membership, costing $14.99 monthly or $139 annually, but does not have an annual fee itself. New applicants who are approved will receive the gift card instantly, providing an opportunity to offset costs during Prime Day shopping.
"The Points Guy" notes that this offer is particularly advantageous as it requires no spending to receive the gift card. Historically, the usual offer has been a $150 gift card upon approval, with occasional increases to $200.
