Amazon Platinum card - has anyone ever seen the claimed benefits in addition to points?

TonyDavenport

I just took out an Amazon Platinum card as I spend money at Amazon so it kind of made sense for me to at least get some small amount back! However in addition to the points the Amazon card page stated that another headline "feature" of the card is, "Get exclusive deals and offers on your Amazon Mastercard".

Has anyone found these?! What are they? I can't for the life of me locate any!

You can/may get balance transfer, money transfer, purchase, payment plan and extra points offers. I started getting them regularly after I'd been with them a while. It potentially depends on your spending habits and how you run your account I would imagine.

I've had it a couple years now and the only offers I see are when it comes to pay, on Amazon, I get offered 3-12 months instalments based on the card linkage. Never taken them up as I just buy what I want then clear the card at statement but I suppose it could be handy to some; getting X months to repay at a 0% rate. 

On the actual card App, there's always a BT and money transfer offer showing (again, doesn't interest me).

Those offers sound very useful, maybe I'll go HDR from standard 4k t.v. next year.
thanks

But you get better & longer offers on loads of 0% spend cards. The best I seen on Amazon was 12 months at 0% and that was for a £1500 spend. On a £100 spend I'm offered pay in 3 (3 x £33.33) or 6 months 0% on card. 

There's better out there, but of course downing on Amazon helps earn points for a voucher. Just had mine added today. Nice to get a free tenner every now and again.

No more cards for myself during 2021, though keeping up with repayment's as much as possible.
I haven't used 2 or 3 -3 months Non Amazon cards Zero Purchases options, on latest cards.

Thanks

I just had an offer in March for double points if I spent a certain amount within a month.

Definitely Final card of 21'
p.o. from cap1-200 limit.
Another 0% 3 months purchases.
Could use this, some paint for June Livingroom tidy up
Amazon statement arrived- 70 pounds approx. to re pay in full.
Points seem to accumulate faster than I thought, which is good.

I get regular e mails with check our web page for "great offers". When I check there is nothing on offer I want. I have stopped looking now

Had mine for about 18 months now. Not seen any offers tbh.

Only use it for Amazon online purchases.

I've noticed recently on a number of products I've purchased on Amazon that I get an extra 5% off by using my Amazon card as payment - when you're looking at the product screen - it's usually mentioned under the price somewhere if I recall. I've seen it a few times now.
