Amazon, a major online retailer, has revamped its range of Chase credit cards with new functions, aesthetics, and names.
Prime Visa and Amazon Visa are the new names for the Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card and the Amazon Rewards Visa Signature Card, respectively.
Exploring Amazon’s Enhanced Credit Cards
Both cards provide bigger welcome bonuses and more incentives that you may utilize nearly immediately.
The cards don’t have an annual fee, but in order to receive the Prime Visa, you must have a qualifying Prime membership, which costs either $139 annually or $14.99 monthly.
Cardholders can now earn rewards on purchases made through Chase Travel, the company’s updated and new platform for booking travel, as well as on local transportation services like ride-hailing.
Just in time for Amazon Prime Day on July 11–12, here is more information about the rewards you may earn with these credit cards.
These cards are more closely aligned with other well-known Chase rewards cards, such the Chase Freedom Unlimited and the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, thanks to the addition of travel benefits.
On travel booked through Chase Ultimate Rewards, those cards get 5% cash back or $5 in points, respectively.
Your rewards earnings with the Amazon cards can be accelerated by one-time sign-up incentives.

He notes that the 5% bonus on $2,500 in the first three months of the Prime Visa equates to $125 in cash back.
