According to https://www.amazon.co.uk/credit/creditcard-rewards  Amazon are to launch a new credit card.

rumours are that its barclays who they will partner with but thats probably only because they already use them for the monthly payments for higher value purchases. 

Surely Amex, who already issue their corporate credit cards, is a more likely candidate?

That link takes me to a sign in page, after which I see Amazon Mastercard provided by New Day,  which is exactly what we have now.

if you read further down it says 

We’ll be launching a brand-new Amazon-branded credit card that rewards you every time you spend. We’ll be in touch with more details on the new card so customers can stay up to date and sign up for exclusive early access.

Thank you for the information- I went back,  scrolled down and checked the FAQ tab as well but my page doesn't have that info.

good point i wouldn't be surprised to see Amex get it i still think its more likely barclays but thats just because Amex can be abit picky when it comes to customers

If its the volume of customers amazon want to increase then its more likely barclays or even a smaller company like jaja who have just released an asda credit card.  It will probably be launching this year if newday amazon credit close by november.

They won't want to miss out on the christmas trade so the launch will be this year imo

i'm not sure when the page was updated maybe recently and thats why some people yourself included can't see it

it says they will get in touch via email for early access to the card so for people who can't see the updated page and want an amazon reward card then just wait for the email.

My gut is that if volume was their primary concern they wouldn't have dropped NewDay as they're one of the more accommodating lenders.

In the US Amazon credit cards are provided by JP Morgan Chase, and the arrangement has only recently been renewed, so perhaps Chase could be a candidate to be the new UK credit card provider for Amazon.

From reading the FAQs, all points will convent an equivalent voucher.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY REWARD POINTS?

You will continue to earn Amazon Reward Points until 11th November (unless you choose to close your account before this date). Your account will be credited to the penny, for example, 1024 pts = £10.24 gift card credit. Your points balance will be automatically converted into a gift card and loaded to your Amazon account by the end of December 2022.

That's great to hear. I've still not received an email about this, perhaps they're really slow with sending them out.

According to reporting by MSE Which and The Motley Fool at the time it was New Day who dropped Amazon:

Amazon Classic and Platinum credit cards will be scrapped from January 2023 – here’s what you need to know (moneysavingexpert.com)

The Which article says that New Day announced in March 2022 that they had "issued a notice of termination" to Amazon.
