Opening a Amazon Classic Mastercard credit card for the £20 reward

TightMike · 2018-05-08 09:48:11

I'm wondering whether it would be worth opening an Amazon Classic Mastercard credit card just for the £20 reward? I don't need the card so I wouldn't use it at all. Are there any drawbacks to this?

I have just applied for this card, not just for the £20 but also the 1.5% effective cash back on Amazon purchases (as a Prime member). Seems pretty good to me, certainly worth a search on my credit file.
Sorry just realised that the thread is about the Classic credit builder card.
