Amazon Prime Day is one of the biggest shopping events of the year, and for good reason. There are always amazing deals to be found on everything from electronics to home goods to clothes. But if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can stretch these savings beyond Prime Day by using an Amazon Prime Visa credit card.

With the Amazon Prime card, you can earn points for every dollar you spend. These points can then be redeemed for Amazon credit, which can be used to purchase anything on Amazon. The credits do not expire, so you can continue to shop with your card and bank your points throughout the year. This all sounds pretty standard for a cashback credit card, right? But once you factor in the Prime Day bonuses, it becomes an amazing way to not only save money, but to score some huge discounts during the end of the year holiday shopping season.

 

During Prime Day, you'll earn even more points for your purchases. The standard 5% cash back for Amazon.com purchases jumps to 6% and as high as 10% for select categories. This is a once-a-year opportunity to give your Amazon points balance a major boost. If you're a big Prime Day shopper, or even just use your card for regular purchases, the points will add up quickly.

Here are just a few of the benefits of using an Amazon Prime credit card during Prime Day:

  • You'll earn 6%-10% back on Amazon.com purchases. This is a significant increase from the standard 5% back that Prime members earn.

  • You'll get a $200 Amazon gift card after you're approved for the card. This is a great way to start your Prime Day shopping spree.

  • You'll get extended warranty protection on your purchases. This means that if your purchase breaks within the warranty period, you'll be covered.

  • You'll get purchase protection against damage or theft. This means that if your purchase is damaged or stolen within 120 days of purchase, you'll be reimbursed.

Outside of Prime Day, the Prime Visa Card perks include

  • 5% back on Chase Travel purchases for Prime members.

  • 5% back at Whole Foods, Amazon.com, and Amazon Fresh.

  • 2% back on local transit and commuting, including rideshare.

  • 2% back at gas stations.

  • 2% back at restaurants.

  • 1% for all other purchases.

So just remember to use your card, save your points, shop on Prime Day, redeem your points during the holidays, and stack your credits on the end -of-year discounts.
