Sounds good. Are you an automatic rollover, or did you have to opt in? If the latter, when did you phone and ask to continue with a Pulse card? (I had to opt in, and am wondering when mine might arrive. I actually left it past the last minute - I was told that I had to phone in by 6 November, but actually did so at 0850 on 7 November.)

I had to Opt in. Phoned 23 September.

I opted in in August. No Pulse card for me yet 🤷‍♂️

That said, no hurry for it while Chase paying me 1% cashback.

Received my new Pulse card this morning - activated in the app - and notice that I've already got 51p cashback. Easy, smooth transition for me.

My app is asking for me to activate the card, so that suggests to me that mine is on its way.

This may well have been up for a while now but I see that Amazon do still intend to offer a rewards credit card (here):



It also says: 'Our brand-new rewards card will be launching next year. We’ll be in contact with more details nearer the time, and to notify customers when they can apply.'

Will be holding out for that as that was that was why I went for the Newday card and only used it at Amazon given the particularly favourable cashback reward there.

I'll be interested to find out which card provider/bank will be behind it... Could it be a way for Chase (UK) to get into the UK credit card market? The USA based Amazon credit cards appear to be provided by JP Morgan Chase.... So it could be a natural progression? (And the watch this space ad is very 'Chase blue')

Yup. I'm in the same position.

Could be tempted to use Pulse towards M.2 Macbook Air...
If only I can clear <70 pounds Amazon balance and review what APR is.
Interesting to check if Pulse are to be as generous as Amazon with incremental offers.
