Amazon Business Prime American Express Card review

The perks

• Choose your rewards.

  You have the option to earn 5% cash back on US purchases at Amazon Business, AWS, Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market, or use an interest-free period on those purchases. After the interest-free period, your rate reverts to a 14.24% to 22.24% variable APR (see rates & fees).

• Cash back.

  On purchases at US restaurants, US gas stations and on wireless telephone services from US service providers you earn 2% cash back. Everything else you buy earns 1%.

• Welcome offer.

  Once you’re approved for the card, get a $125 Amazon gift card.

What to watch out for

• Prime membership required.

  To get this card, you must be an eligible Amazon Prime or Business Prime member. Amazon Prime costs $119 annually, while Business Prime costs $179 for up to three users.

• Penalty APR.

  Make your payments on time or you’ll pay a penalty APR of 29.24% variable. This can last for a minimum of 12 months if you fail to make on-time payments.

• Short 0% APR period.

  You can only get 90 interest-free days for Amazon Business, AWS, Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market purchases if you choose this option instead of cash back. But you won’t get a longer 0% intro APR period. If that’s what you’re looking for, check out 0% intro APR cards.
