Which CRA does Newday Search for Amazon Platinum Mastercard

As the title say's, I looking at applying for Amazon Platinum Mastercard, for the £40 amazon voucher and 1.5% back, but I would like to know what CRA do they perform a hard search on hoping it's not Experian.

    Yup, definitely. There was a hard search on my Experian record when I applied for an Amazon card.

    Ok cool, I already have 4 on Experian, 1 on TransUnion and 0 on Equifax, I guess one more won't hurt.

    The £40 Amazon gift card is the highest I've seen them offer.
  • Yeah, I signed up at £25, nearly two years ago now.

    £40 is a nice earner.

    Just watch that you don't need greater credit in the near future as 5 hard searches may seriously impact your application.

    Yes, I have no planned credit applications, and three searches will be gone by April 2022.
