Amazon and Chase are making the Amazon Visa and Prime Visa credit cards even more rewarding. The two popular retail cards now enjoy the option of Equal Monthly Payments when using Amazon Pay during checkout at tens of thousands of participating online retail sites. Here’s everything you need to know about this appealing new Amazon Pay promotion:
Mobile Wallets Offer Greater Security & More
Mobile wallets are a secure third-party payment solution that allows consumers to save vulnerable data, like credit card information, with third-party companies to streamline the purchasing process at millions of retailers worldwide. These mobile wallets offer a more secure, faster way to make purchases without the need to provide credit card numbers, CVV codes, or expiration dates to foreign sellers or merchants you are unfamiliar with and may not trust with those details.
Examples of popular third-party payment services include options like PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay (formerly Android Pay). Another popular option growing in scale is Amazon Pay, a mobile wallet that works under the Amazon umbrella. And now Amazon Pay is becoming even more rewarding for eligible Amazon credit cardmembers.
Amazon Visa Credit Cards Now Enjoy Broader 0% APR Offers
Amazon Pay will now offer shoppers the convenience of equal monthly payment options on eligible purchases of $50 or more, regardless of where they make their purchases. You can take advantage of 0% APR financing for 6 or 12 months at thousands of retailers when you select Amazon Pay and use your Amazon Visa or Prime Visa credit card from Chase at checkout.
In addition to the equal monthly payment options you get as an Amazon Visa or Prime Visa cardmember, you’ll also have the convenience of Amazon Pay when you shop at thousands of online retailers. With Amazon Pay, your payment and shipping information remain securely stored, allowing you easy, secure checkout without extra forms to fill out or additional accounts to create. Plus, your purchases are protected by Amazon Pay’s A-to-Z Guarantee.
Where is Amazon Pay accepted?
While Amazon Pay might not be as universal as Apple Pay, Google Pay, or the ever-popular PayPal, the service is still expanding, with over 10,000 retailers accepting the mobile wallet service as of July 2023. Here is a brief mention of some of the more noteworthy brands taking part in the new 0% APR promotion with Amazon Pay:

Lovesac | Ralph Lauren | Senville | Shopify |

What’s more, Amazon Pay merchants now have yet another way to seamlessly reach new customers, offering them more choice and convenience in how they pay.”
“This expansion of our work with Amazon allows Prime Visa and Amazon Visa cardmembers to use their existing card features in a new way,” added William Mahoney, General Manager of Amazon Visa cards at Chase. “We’re excited cardmembers will now be able to utilize 0% APR equal monthly payment options on purchases at a range of retailers, made possible by this advancement from Amazon Pay.”
