    I think we can be reasonably certain that Amazon will be bringing out a replacement card with an Amazon giftcard cashback before long using a different bank to run it. Their current agreement with MBNA probably prevents them from marketing it or even referring to it until a certain date has passed.

    I doubt it - not universally accepted. Visa or Mastercard, but bank yet to be confirmed.

    I hope the points are at the same rate as well and not dropped even further!

    could Amazon just back the cards themselves?
    Amazon Bank anyone?:wave:

    I also received a letter and mine states that I'll get MBNA rewards card and that I'l earn double points in the first three months... which would make it 1% for the 3 months? Need to look at it closer. And cancel some cards I needed to cancel for some time as I am not using them...
    Just general clear out and look at some new cards.

    Interesting, so I guess everybody who got a letter that did not mention the rewards card will just be getting the basic non-rewards one.

    Must be, mine has rewards mentioned in big bold letters so it's not like others could have just overlooked it being mentioned.
    Still looks like it will be only Mastercard, no mentioning of Amex at all and on enclosed leaflet is just a picture of Mastercard.
    I hold another MBNA non reward card, wonder whether that made a difference in their decision..? If they were reviewing acoounts...

    That doesn't bode well for me. Mine only says MBNA Credit Card, nothing about a rewards card or getting double points for the first three months... not good...
