Amazon Card - grrrrrrr !!!

Got all excited by the article on the website about 15.00 voucher from Amazon if you spend on a newly aquired Amazon credit card. Duly applied, and received card, only to find out that in order to get my 15.00 voucher I have to spend 150.00 !
Thats an awful lot of over-priced books!
Now Ive stuffed my credit rating again by appying for a credit card I dont really want :(
Oh well - back to green metropolis ( https://www.greenmetropolis.co.uk) for my books, and into the shredder with the credit card!

    Not heard anyone mention this before. Think you get awarded the 150 points on your first statement.

  • Agree with Matt, you get a "free £15" just for using the card - mine came from a 39p Cadburys Flake bar - I think you're referring to subsequent vouchers but I only took it for the intro offer as do most voucher baggers

    So I can just go any buy anything on the card, to any value, and they will send me a voucher? In that case maybe I will give it one more try. Does it come with the statement or something?

    I seem to remember I got my statement showing £15 credit - and also got an e-mail with the code to use it on Amazon.

  • I received my first statement on 17-JAN-2007 yet to receive any codes from Amazon...

    I have called them at least 10-15 times...no success... :-(

    I would never take a extra credit search for
    only £15

    Never understood Martin's advice on this.
