Amazon.co.uk MasterCard

Here's a card for people who shop a lot on Amazon.co.uk. Sadly it's only 0.5 points for everyone £1 spend elsewhere, but 1 point for every £1 spent on Amazon.co.uk. What do you think, and does anyone use this card?

• Typical 15.9% APR (variable)
• No annual fee

Great loyalty programme

• Earn points every time you spend on your Amazon.co.uk MasterCard

I have the card but I only really got it for the initial £15 voucher. I do use amazon quite a bit but still for a reward card its not very good.

Theres certainly better out there tbh.

Yeah I agree. I suppose it's a card to build your credit rating and hope that one day Capital ONE will accept you for the 1% cash back. As you probably know, they (C1) demand an excellent credit rating.
