Holders of the Prime Rewards card will now earn cash back in two more categories:
-
5% cash back on purchases made through the Chase Travel portal.
But the card is ditching its 2% rate at drugstores, meaning purchases there will earn just 1% back. Otherwise, the rest of its rewards structure will remain the same:
-
5% back at Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market.
-
2% back at restaurants and gas stations.
-
1% back on all other purchases.
The Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card will retain its annual fee of $0, but you’ll still need an Amazon Prime membership to get it. Membership costs $139 a year.
The Amazon Rewards Visa Card, which you can get without a Prime membership, is also getting an update to its rewards structure. Cardholders will now earn:
-
3% back on purchases made through the Chase Travel portal.
-
2% back on local transit and commuting, including rideshares.
This version of the card, too, is nixing its 2% rate at drugstores, but as with the Prime version of the card, Rewards Visa cardholders will continue to earn 2% back at restaurants and gas stations, plus 1% back on everything else. Its $0 annual fee will also remain unchanged.
