Your Amazon Credit Card approval odds are good if you have a credit score of 700+, which is considered good credit. Approval odds for the Amazon Credit Card will also be influenced by your annual income and existing debts. Applicants will need to be 18+ years old with a U.S. mailing address and an SSN or ITIN, as well.
What You Need for Good Amazon Credit Card Approval Odds
- Good credit or better
- Enough income to pay credit card bills
- Low debt relative to income
- Low housing costs relative to income
- U.S. mailing address
- Age of 18+
- Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
Keep in mind that many of these are guidelines rather than requirements. For example, you may have a low annual income but no debts and still get approved.
To get a better sense of your approval odds before applying for the Amazon Credit Card, you can check to see if you’re pre-qualified for any offers on the Chase website. Pre-qualifying does not guarantee approval, but it does indicate that you have pretty good odds of getting approved for certain cards, and it won’t affect your credit score.
If you want to enhance your application by improving your credit score, WalletHub’s free credit analysis can tell you what steps to take.

First, the Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature card is a Chase Bank credit card. Therefore, regardless of your credit; if you have acquired 5 new accounts in a 24 month period, you will be denied for this card. Research Chase Bank 5 new cards 24 month period rule
I vaguely remember reading someplace that they dont count co branded cards but i could be wrong. If i am wrong i will be denied an Amazon credit card. I didn't know, failed to look at who the card is co branded with. Im aware of the Chase policy tho.
I've had far more that in just the past 6 months and a less than 640 score and just got approved for 1k so....

I was approved for the Amazon Visa Signature with more than 5 opened accounts in 24 months. The lowest limit they will give out is 500 and it is hard to increase from that limit. Chase is the lowest limit card I have and kept it open, so far.
@yradatus1: length of credit history is a biggie as far as approvals go. I have a 2.4 year credit history which is stellar in all scoring areas. I will be somewhat out of the doldrums next year
In a way the low CL can be of some good because for me, i wouldn't want to spend over 30% on it thus eliminating impulsive buying on my part. If something costs more i would definitely give more attention to my budget.

No, you are not guaranteed approval for a secured credit card. Credit card companies do not guarantee approval for secured cards because applicants for any type of credit card must meet certain minimum eligibility requirements, including being at least 18 years old and having enough income to pay the bills.

It can take anywhere from less than a minute to a few weeks to get approved for a credit card. The amount of time depends on how you apply, how good your credit is relative to the requirements of the card, and whether the issuer can immediately verify your information. You could be instantly approved if you apply online and are obviously qualified. But if you don’t get instant approval, it’ll typically take at least 7-10...
