I was instantly approved with a generous credit limit of $2400 given that I have very limited credit history. So far its been great. APR is a little bit high but I pay the card off each month and have already gotten $15 cashback within the first month. 5% cashback is amazing for anyone who regularly shops amazon!
Not sure what to say. I was approved a year ago for $1,000. Never got even close to the limit and paid the balance within a few months. Shortly after, they closed the account without notice and my credit score dropped 45 points.

I'm feel so sad
I have had my card for 5 years never late and never missed a payment in November 2018 they dropped my limit by 800 some dollers then today Feb 22 2019 they dropped another 150 my score took a massive hit I called them crying my eyes out side I am a good customer never missed anything you know they wouldn't fix it said it was because of a deragatory mark and old power bill for 200 that by the way I just paid I'n full and is know longer even on my credit report and had absolutely nothing to do with them or how I make my payments again never late never missed my wife needs surgery and I can't even apply for the loan for her sugery because of what Amazon done to my score God forgive them
Omg that is so sad 😞 god bless you and your heart.
Credit scores do not become lower due to changes in credit limits. They become lower because of the ratio of credit available to credit already used.
Decent while I had it.
Had this card for roughly 11 months. For some reason they closed my account and wouldnt give me a reason. They said I would receive a letter within 7-10 days with a reason why they cancelled it. I have not received that letter yet. I always kept it paid off. It was never maxed out. I have never missed a payment and if anything i paid double my minimum payment always. Just had it to help out my credit and that was it. I have 5 credit cards and never missed a payment on them either. I keep balances low and make good money.
It would not hurt to have a conversation. Many times there are legitimate issues that affect credit accounts.
Ripoff
I got an Amazon Store card a month ago, ordered a couple of items which I had to return. The return process was flawless; I had my "refund" as soon as item was scanned at the post office.
What angered me (I have canceled the card) is that the refund for those items goes on a gift card. I had to pay the $100 credit card balance, but will now have to "work off" the credit on the gift card. I think that's a ripoff. What if you don't pay the whole balance? You get charged interest on your balance even though you're received a complete refund for the item.
I don't know about or care about rewards. I only got the card for the $10 credit on my first order.
Auto Closed My Account
Received a Credit Karma alert that my account was closed! I had auto payments set up for a year. There was a mix up in my bank transactions. After just 2 NSF in a year, they will close your account! Of course, you know that is in the fine prints. They could've just called to have me take care of it another way, but instead they just close your account. This is just wrong and horrible customer service, as it negatively affects loyal customers. I loved using my store card & my prime membership together. This really sucks, so beware!
Closed account without my knowledge
I called in November 2018 and spoke to a horrible manager his NAME IS CLYDE asked if he can put a credit on my account and in his nasty way seid No and we got into a big fight and he CLOSED MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT ME KNOWING ABOUT IT MABE I SEID YES BUT OF I DID IT WAS BECAUSE OF HIM AND I FOUND OUT LATER WHEN I PAYED MY BILL IT WAS CLOSED WITH OUT MY PERMISSION AND I Talked to another manager and he seid he can credit my account for 20 HE SHOULD TAKE CLYDES JOB BECAUSE CLYDE LIED THAT HE COULD NOT HELP ME CLYDE SHOULD GET FIRED IF MY ACCOUNT DOES NOT OPEN BACK UP !!!
Clyde Lied.....I'm dyin' over here! :-))
F**K Amazon and its employees.
Great Card & Convenient Payment Option!
This was one of the first credit accounts I was approved for a few years ago while trying to improve my credit score. I was approved for $500-700 (I forget which) which, during the holiday season, I quickly racked up and paid what I could as quickly as I could. A few months later I checked my credit score again which had an improved rating as Amazon bumped my card limit to ~$1200. It's been about 5 or 6 years now since I've had this Amazon Prime Store Card and my limit is now $5500. I hardly use it but like that the option is available in case I did want to use it for some higher-priced items. I do a lot of online shopping (buying/selling on eBay) and would suggest the Paypal credit option over the Amazon store card option as they have lots of promos (through eBay only) for 24mos 0% APR with Paypal and the balance doesn't show up on your credit score (whereas Amazon does). So far I have had no issues with my Amazon account nor the store card feature. I'm trying to see what other options are out there on what you can use the card on outside of Amazon right now.
Two hard pulls!
These #####s made two hard pulls per one application. Perfect!
Applied by mistake and understand that it was bigger mistake that I originally thought. Hole into credit history instead of normal product.

My credit limit went from $150 to $7000
My credit went up in from $150 to $7000 in a month, I just keep asking for more. My score is FICO 8 Tu: 702, EXP: 685.
What did you do to increase your credit limit so high like that?
Avoid like the plague! I had a payment returned, a minor oversight as I was moving intertstate, and they shut down my account.
Wow, I have never had a card company operator in this manor. Terrible....
