I've had the Amazon Visa card for years, because it was 3% cash back on all Amazon purchases, and I do a majority of my retail shopping on Amazon.
Without asking they just sent me an Amazon Prime Visa card, that gets 5% cash back on Amazon, with the same 2% from gas and restaurants, and 1% on other stuff, and still no annual fee. Redeeming your cash back is super easy. When you're checking out on Amazon, you just check the box that you want to use your Amazon Points as payment.
If you order off Amazon constantly like I do, it's a no brainer.
The physical card is very different from my old one. It's really heavy, like 3 times the weight of a normal card. And it doesn't have raised numbers on the front, just a small etched name. The number is on the back under the signature box in small very slightly raised numbers. Apparently the cell phone card readers killed off the last of the carbon paper imprint machines and they ended backward compatibility with them. Maybe that's normal now, but it's the first I've seen it.
