Amazon credit card

astra_elegance51

Anyone else like me confused by their offer? seems that it is only usable thro Amazon to purchase items/through on their site. Have asked them to clarify this,but no reply so far.Card is loaded onto your Amazon A/C as the default creditcard, so all transactions go thro it,so when you go past the 30 days "open A/C " offer to qualify for the minimum £300 spend, 13 months free interest,you will be charged the full 16% plus, on any items you order from them.This only becomes apparant when the final ? e/mail from them ,tells you the card is on its way(takes about a month to get to this stage )

Further to above thread posted early today .Just had an e/mail from Amazon customer services, saying "They did not know the answer if this card can be used elsewwhere" ,and suggested I phone the Bank of America ,thoughtfully provided me with the number to call.!!:mad:

I'm confused - it's a regular MasterCard that can be used anywhere?

As others have said, it's a standard credit card that you can use anywhere (that accepts credit cards!)

The reply you got above from Amazon is probably standard - they won't answer questions about the credit card. The card is issued and managed by Bank of America. The Amazon name and points is really just a marketing gimmick, that benefits both Bank of America and Amazon.

(Similarly, Bank of America won't discuss delivery times for books etc!)
