Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs June 23 through June 26, and there are two elevated credit card welcome offers on the table right now that can put real money back in your pocket before you ever click "buy." If you've been thinking about getting an Amazon card, today is the best time in recent memory to pull the trigger.

The Prime Visa: $200 gift card, no spend required

New cardmembers approved for the Amazon Prime Visa receive a $200 Amazon gift card instantly loaded to their account on approval. No spending threshold. No waiting. The gift card shows up in your Amazon account balance and can be used immediately, including on Prime Day deals.

This is $50 higher than the card's standard welcome offer, and it's only available through July 9, 2026. Since the Prime Visa is issued by Chase, the usual 5/24 rule applies: if you've opened five or more personal credit cards in the past 24 months, approval is unlikely. Worth checking before you apply.

After the bonus, the Prime Visa earns:

• 5% back at Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and on Chase Travel purchases (with eligible Prime membership)
• 2% back at gas stations, restaurants, and local transit
• 10% back or more on rotating Prime Card Bonus items during Prime Day

There's no annual fee for the card itself, though you do need a Prime membership ($139/year or $14.99/month) to apply and keep the 5% earn rate.

Apply for the Amazon Prime Visa and have your $200 gift card waiting when Prime Day deals go live.

The Prime Store Card: $120 gift card, today and tomorrow only

If you don't have the credit score for the Prime Visa (Chase typically looks for 670+), the Amazon Prime Store Card is offering a $120 welcome gift card for new cardmembers who apply between June 23 and June 26 only. That's a $40 jump from its standard offer. The Store Card can only be used at Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market, but it earns 5% back on all eligible purchases at those properties and carries no annual fee.

Get the Amazon Prime Store Card before midnight June 26.

One more perk: 7% back when you choose No-Rush Delivery

During Prime Day (June 23–26), all Prime cardmembers earn a total of 7% back on eligible Amazon.com purchases when selecting No-Rush Delivery at checkout. Prime Visa cardmembers can stack on top of that with Prime Card Bonus, pushing certain items to 10% back or more. If you're buying anything that doesn't need to arrive the same day, this is a straightforward way to squeeze more value out of every purchase. Points-savvy shoppers have long used Amazon gift cards as a gift card reselling strategy too, and the timing here is ideal.

Who should act now

If you're a loyal Amazon shopper with a solid credit score and haven't earned the Prime Visa bonus before, this is the cleanest $200 credit card bonus you'll find right now with zero hoops to jump through. The Prime Day timing is perfect: your gift card can fund actual Prime Day purchases, which then earn another 5% (or more) back on top.

For those closer to a 620–670 credit score, the Prime Store Card's $120 bonus disappears after June 26, so this window closes fast.

Check your eligibility, apply for the Prime Visa, and enjoy spending money you hadn't planned on having.
