Amazon or Tesco Credit Card?

I have a Tesco credit card and an Amazon Platinum credit card and have to make a £2,000 purchase.
Which of the two will give me the most "cashback" value in points?
p.s. I applied for an American Express card and was rejected so all I have are these two.

Depends how you value the points and where you’re more likely to make use of them once you’ve earned them.0

Only you can decide which one will be more beneficial to you depending on which of the two you shop at the most.Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:0

£2000 spend will get you halfway to an Amazon £10 voucher so unless you're spending another £2000 in whatever time period required (I don't know if the points roll over each year) you might be better off with Tesco.
You would get £2.50 in Tesco clubcard vouchers which can be spent at Tesco at face value or you can get 2x or 3x value at clubcard partners.

Have a look at the Virgin Mastercard, You will get introductory bonus miles for spend threashold plus miles for spend.
if you are planning a longhaul holiday once things get back to normal it may be worthwhile.
usually its better to book a cheap Virgin flight (lots on offer) then use points to upgrade to a better cabin class0 -
I think it is Amazon gets you £10 for every £4000 spent, Tesco one clubcard point for every £8 spent (or every £4 spent in Tesco). You get more value with Amazon, but you get more regular returns on the Tesco points . I would say if you shop at Tesco even semi-regularly, then that is the better option. Also, my experiences with Amazon has been getting pretty bad the past year. It seems to be flooded with lots of cheap low-quality knock-offs, so I'm less inclined to shop there these days.
