Planning some heavy shopping in the new year to accommodate your resolutions? If so, Amazon's branded credit card with Chase has one of its best bonus offers yet — but it won't last much longer.

Until 6 p.m. ET Jan. 8, 2026, Amazon Prime members who apply and are approved for the Prime Visa will qualify for the following offer: Get a $150 Amazon Gift Card instantly upon approval exclusively for Prime members.

Unlike with many credit card incentives, there are no spending requirements to meet. That’s $250 that you can use however you want with the online retailer — from new fitness gear and workout attire to early Valentine's Day gifts.

In addition to the limited-time bonus, holders of the Prime Visa can also earn 10% back in rewards on select products through "Prime Card Bonus" offers. Eligible products include electronics, apparel and more.

The Chase-issued card earns the following cash-back rewards:

  • 5% back at Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market.

  • 2% back at restaurants, gas stations and local transit, including rideshare.

  • 1% back on all other purchases.

The card charges an annual fee of $0 but requires a Prime membership, which costs $139 annually.
