Application Process
Issuer Rules & Policies
PENDINGRules: The Amazon Secured Card is designed for individuals looking to build or rebuild credit. Eligibility requirements for 2026 include being at least 18 years old (19 in AL/NE), a U.S. resident, possessing a valid Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), and having an active bank account to fund the required security deposit (minimum $200). Approval is subject to a credit review, though the card is accessible to those with limited or no credit history. The card does not offer a traditional sign-up bonus. Instead, it provides ongoing rewards: eligible Prime members earn 2% back at Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and on travel & restaurants, plus 1% back on all other purchases. Non-Prime members earn 1% back on all purchases. Rewards are earned as Amazon points. The security deposit determines the credit limit, and responsible usage may lead to graduation to an unsecured Amazon card.
Max Cards Per Issuer: 1
Min Spend Interval: N/A for bonus spend; rewards earned on ongoing purchases.
Cliff Effect Rules: Not applicable in the traditional sense of card family restrictions. The primary 'progression' is the potential graduation from a secured card to an unsecured Amazon card, which is a positive development based on responsible usage and credit improvement.
Special Events: Prime Day (typically July), Black Friday (late November), Cyber Monday (late November), Amazon's annual holiday sales events (e.g., 'Holiday Dash,' 'Early Black Friday Deals'), and other seasonal promotions specific to Amazon.
Holiday Promos: New Year's, Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and associated shopping periods throughout the year.
International Friendly: Yes
