The Amazon card has been a (non AMEX) leader for cashback on Amazon purchases at 1.5%. I'll be closing mine on 11th November but will look at Amazon's new card to see if it is as good for cashback on Amazon purchases.

You can probably do way better than 1.5% effective cashback with a little bit of planning and forward preparation. Your payment method on Amazon won't be a credit card tho, it'll be gift cards...

If you have a mobile network compatible with Airtime Rewards app, you can get 4% on gift cards at certain retailers, three of which are Asda, Sainsburys and Morrisons atm (in my app) all of whom sell Amazon Gift Cards.

I do have a promo code for newbies, but I think it would be frowned upon to be shared in this thread.

Yep, this is one such option. Sometimes you might even find that you can get multiple cashback rewards for the same purchase if you stack-em-up.

I've received my email. The PDF letter had some F&Qs and I guess people's question about points:

"What happens to my Amazon Reward Points? You will continue to earn Amazon reward points until 11th November 2022. Your points balance will be converted to a gift card and loaded to your Amazon account by the end of December 2022. 8. Will the closure and changes to my account have any impact on my credit rating"

I'm no where neat the 1000 points, but it be nice if anything less than this was converted.

I hit exactly 1000 points and stopped using the card. 

Just waiting for my gift code now. Due after next statement.

i think thats what alot of people thought it meant any lower amount than the usual 1000 points would be converted into a voucher too

It's my understanding that anything under 1000 will be converted to a gift card. The term "points balance" implies that.

Can anyone post a link for the existing discussion?  I've searched but have not found it.

Edit found it, didn't search for a pulse the first time and Amazon isn't in the title.

I just cancelled mine, was really easy. Waited till last statement produced, paid it off and checked the last £10 amazon voucher was transferred. Just called 0333 220 2672 and followed the prompts to cancel, no human interaction/hard sell!

Said would take up to 90 days for credit agencies etc to report it as closed, but was closed as far as they were concerned.

Regardless of all the other threads on this subject, which don't really have many relevant recent comments, which Credit Card is recommended for future Amazon spending? I already have an AMEX. I can't see any with specific cashback or points build-up for Amazon spending, only general spending.
