The Prime Visa card is one of the most rewarding cards for Amazon (AMZN) shoppers because of its high rewards rate on Amazon.com purchases. And now, with perfect timing for Prime Day 2025 (July 8-11), you can get a $200 Amazon gift card instantly upon approval to put toward your next Amazon purchase. For ongoing value, there’s no annual fee to worry about, and you always get 5% back on Amazon with an eligible Prime membership.
What to know about the Prime Visa welcome bonus
If you’re approved for a new Prime Visa card, you’ll instantly receive a $200 Amazon gift card in your Amazon account’s gift card balance. This is an excellent offer for two reasons:
Most credit card sign-up bonuses aren’t immediately available once earned
The typical welcome bonus for Prime Visa is a $150 gift card
Note that the Prime Visa does not have an annual fee, but you do need an eligible Prime membership to qualify.
What can I do with a $200 Amazon gift card?
Amazon Prime Day 2025 is July 8-11, giving you plenty of opportunities to find deals before, during, and after the popular shopping event. Whether it’s buying new apparel, household items, or electronics (like AirPods), a $200 gift card can go a long way in covering all or some of your purchases.
Is the Prime Visa right for me?
The Prime Visa makes the most sense for frequent Amazon shoppers who have an eligible Prime membership. Prime Visa cardholders earn unlimited 5% back on Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and Chase Travel purchases. If any of these categories align with your typical spending, that’s essentially 5% savings on purchases you already make.
And no other card really comes close to the consistent level of earning on Amazon and Whole Foods Market purchases.
In addition, the Prime Visa isn’t locked into its top-earning categories. You can use the card wherever Visa credit cards are accepted, earning unlimited 2% back at gas stations, restaurants, and on local transit and commuting services (including rideshares), and 1% back on all other eligible purchases.
