Issuer Rules & Policies
PENDINGRules: Eligibility requirements for the Amazon Prime Store Card (Synchrony) typically include being 18 years or older (19+ in AL/NE), possessing a valid U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), and having a U.S. mailing address. A generally good credit history is preferred, though Synchrony may approve applicants across a range of credit scores. For the 5% back benefit, an active Amazon Prime membership is mandatory. The card's primary bonus is often an Amazon Gift Card upon approval or first purchase. The ongoing reward is 5% back on eligible Amazon.com purchases for Prime members. This is a store-specific card, meaning it can only be used on Amazon.com and select Amazon-affiliated properties.
Max Cards Per Issuer: 6
Min Spend Interval: First purchase or 30 days if a spend-based bonus is offered; ongoing rewards have no spend interval.
Cliff Effect Rules: The primary 'cliff effect' for this card is the loss of an active Amazon Prime membership. Without Prime, the card's reward rate drops from 5% back to 0% (or standard non-Prime rewards), significantly diminishing its value proposition. While Synchrony does not have strict 'card family' rules like some other issuers, overall credit exposure across all Synchrony products is considered during application and credit limit reviews.
Special Events: Frequent special financing offers (e.g., 0% APR for 6, 12, or 24 months on qualifying purchases), limited-time bonus rewards (e.g., 6% back on specific categories or during certain promotional periods), and exclusive discounts on Amazon products, particularly during major sales events.
Holiday Promos: Actively participates in major Amazon sales events such as Prime Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and other seasonal promotions (e.g., Holiday Deals, Spring Sale), often offering enhanced financing or bonus rewards during these times.
International Friendly: No
