The best instant use store credit card is the Prime Visa. This card offers $250 Amazon gift card instantly upon approval. The card offers 1 - 5% cash rewards on purchases and has a $0 annual fee. Take into account that, while it’s common to receive an instant decision for a store card, it’s not guaranteed. Your application might take longer to process. The cashier at your favorite retailer should be able to give you more information.
