Can I use my Amazon Store Card anywhere?

No, you cannot use your Amazon.com Store Card anywhere you want. The Amazon.com Store Card and the Prime version can only be used to make purchases at Amazon and their affiliates.

Places Where You Can Use the Amazon.com Store Card:

• Amazon.com (Retail and Marketplace)
• Amazon Business
• Amazon Prime membership
• Amazon Go
• AWS
• Audible
• Amazon Bookstore
• Amazon’s 4-star stores
• Alexa Skills
• At merchants who use Amazon Pay
• Amazon Fresh
• Audible.com
• Comixology.com

It is worth noting that the Amazon.com Store Card can be used on most purchases on Amazon.com, with the exception of a few items and services, listed below.

Items that can’t be purchased with the Amazon.com Store Card:

• Book Rentals
• Digital subscriptions (including magazines and newspapers)
• Purchases from Amazon subsidiaries (excluding Audible)
• Whole Foods Market purchases
• Treasure Truck (text alert feature for exclusive, highly-discounted products)

Considering the wide range of things you can buy on Amazon, these exclusions shouldn’t necessarily keep you from applying for the Amazon.com Store Card. You’ll still get a big discount on Amazon purchases by using this card as a Prime member, after all. You can learn more about this offer from our in-depth Amazon.com Store Card review.

Alternative Credit Card Option

If you’re looking for a similar credit card that can be used anywhere, you should consider getting the Amazon.com Credit Card. This card is on the Visa network, so it can be used virtually anywhere credit cards are accepted. Plus, it offers a $60 Amazon.com gift card upon approval ($150 for Prime members), and you can also earn 1 - 5 points per $1 spent on purchases.

Keep in mind that you need at least good credit to get approved for the Amazon.com Credit Card. So, make sure you know where you stand before applying. You can check your credit score for free, right here on WalletHub.
