Amazon 4%
Just got offer to sign up to get 4% cash back on my existing Amazon Prime/Chase credit card where they’d normally only pay 1 or 2%. Currently I only use the card for Amazon.
I’m signing up, unless there’s some @gotcha.
Bonus expires next February.

I got one of those offers too. But there was some fine print:
 Quote:

Purchases must post to your account by February 11, 2021. This offer doesn't include purchases at Amazon.com or Whole Foods Market

My existing Amazon/Chase card is at 5% back. Is this some kind of other deal offer?

The offer I got was that it's 2% back on purchases made at places other than Amazon or Whole Foods. And it expires November 11. I feel shorted.

Email. Very easy to enroll. But I figured there must be a “catch”. - why wouldn’t everyone want this?

BOA has cash reward cards which give 5.25%, but must have 100k at ML/BOA.
Usually there is some "catch".

It sounds like they are testing the waters.
A year or two I got an offer for 5% back for a limited time if I used my Amazon card to pay utility bills. So, I did for one month. 5% is 5%. That's a better deal than CDs at that time. And it still would be.

I Googled in case I missed an email and found this: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/targe...r-or-february/

- Chase Amazon Prime credit card is offering 4% back everywhere through February 11, 2021 with no limit.
- Others are getting 3% back everywhere through November 11, 2020.
- Others are getting 2% back everywhere.

There's a link in the article to check and see if you have an offer. There's nothing available for us.

I have the Amazon store card, so I guess I get nothing in this deal. I forget why I chose the store card over the credit card.

I got the offer and was afraid it was a scam. I checked the Chase site directly and didn't see the offer so I was afraid to click on the link.

That sucks, because Amazon is offering me 5% cashback. Why only 4%
