Amazon Mastercard

I signed up for an Amazon MasterCard as I usually use an American Express Nectar card, but Amex isn't accepted everywhere. This card fills in the gaps! I had originally signed up for a Amazon MasterCard when it was run by Halifax, but earlier this year, Halifax and Amazon parted company and the card reverted back to a Halifax card. Put off by the lack of points and cashback on offer, I closed the account. A few months later I noticed from the Amazon website that they had started their own card in conjunction with bank of America. As with my Amex, I pay the full amount off each month and only put things on there that I would usually by anyway ...  Read the complete review

I do stupid things like applying for credit cards purely because companies are offering special offers for new customers. Hence I applied for an Amazon credit card I didn't need early in 2008, as they gave you £15 in Amazon vouchers when you started spending on it. A short while - and a few more special offer credit card applications later - I realized that perhaps all these applications for credit cards I'd been making were in fact having an effect on my credit rating, and hence I cancelled some of the ones I wasn't using - the Amazon credit card included. Then at the beginning of this month, Amazon began their £15 for new Mastercard ...  Read the complete review

The Amazon Mastercard is a credit card on offer in conjunction with Halifax Bank of Scotland through Amazon.co.uk and is a great little credit card with rates competitive within the market place as well as offering points on all transactions. The card offers points back on transactions from the Amazon website at a rate of double those of purchases with other retailers and this is why I originally took the card out...if you are a fan of gaming (for example) then take this card out and put your console purchases onto this card when you purchase through Amazon and continue to use this card for you game, controller, utilities purchases and the points will build up nicely ...  Read the complete review

Introduction ########## I wanted a MasterCard because I wanted to order items from international stores online and they didn't accept my regular maestro card. So I went for the search in finding one which would give something back to me for using the card. I was not really interested in the APR or anything like that because I had no intention of keeping credit from the bank - all money would be settled as soon as possible. All I wanted is a card which was accepted internationally for internet orders. Finding the Card ############## While I was surfing around for credit cards and the rewards I might get, I saw many ...  Read the complete review

The Amazon.co.uk credit card is my first true credit card (I got a Vanquis one with only £250 before), and I got it during my student days; that is before I had any real income or job. I just filled out the application to 'try my luck', and I was told online that I had been approved for a £1700 credit limit! That is how students get into deep debts. Also they 'review' your credit limit once a year, and I am on £2200 now! I got the paperwork quickly, and I just needed to sign and return it. The card arrived just days later. Everything works fine! Bills have always been on-time and correct. The APR after the promotion period is at a fair 14.9% ...  Read the complete review
