It offers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5% back on Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market purchases<\/li>\n<li>2% back at restaurants, gas stations, and drugstores<\/li>\n<li>1% back on all other purchases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Due to its higher rewards and Prime membership requirement, the Prime Rewards card often requires a stronger credit profile.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazon_Rewards_Visa_Signature_Card\"><\/span>Amazon Rewards Visa Signature Card<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The non-Prime version is available to all Amazon customers and offers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3% back on Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market purchases<\/li>\n<li>2% back at restaurants, gas stations, and drugstores<\/li>\n<li>1% back on all other purchases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This card has slightly more lenient approval criteria than the Prime rewards version but still looks for good credit.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Credit_Score_Is_Needed_for_an_Amazon_Credit_Card\"><\/span>What Credit Score Is Needed for an Amazon Credit Card?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to qualifying for any credit card, including Amazon cards, your credit score plays a critical role. The credit score is a numerical representation of your creditworthiness based on your credit history, payment habits, outstanding debts, and other financial behavior.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amazon credit cards typically require applicants to have a credit score in the \u201cgood\u201d to \u201cexcellent\u201d range.<\/strong> Here&#8217;s a breakdown of the credit score ranges:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Excellent Credit:<\/strong> 750 and above<\/li>\n<li><strong>Good Credit:<\/strong> 700 to 749<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fair Credit:<\/strong> 650 to 699<\/li>\n<li><strong>Poor Credit:<\/strong> Below 650<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Credit_Score_Range_for_Amazon_Credit_Cards\"><\/span>Credit Score Range for Amazon Credit Cards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Based on multiple lender guidelines and real user experiences, here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card:<\/strong> A credit score of at least <strong>700 or higher<\/strong> is recommended. Because this card has better rewards and requires you to have an Amazon Prime membership, most approvals go to people with <strong>good to excellent credit<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Amazon Rewards Visa Signature Card (without Prime):<\/strong> You may qualify with a credit score around <strong>670 to 700<\/strong>, although approval chances improve with scores above 700.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>People with scores below 650 generally have lower chances of approval because these scores fall into the fair to poor category.
