It's a good idea to keep an eye on your Amazon.com Store Card balance. If your balance seems higher than it should be, take a moment to look over your recent transactions for anything out of the ordinary. 

Yes, the Amazon.com Store Card is a credit card. Store cards work like any other type of credit card, with the sole exception that you can only use them at the retailer to which they're tied, in this case Amazon.

Here's what the Amazon.com Store Card offers:

• Initial Bonus: $10 Amazon gift card upon approval.  
• Ongoing rewards: 5% back in rewards for Amazon Prime cardholders. 
• Financing offer: 0% for 6 - 24 months on pre-set minimum purchases as long as you pay your balance in full by the end of the promotional period. 

As with any credit card, Amazon.com Store Card gets you a line of credit. And if you pay your balance in full by the due date and do not carry any balance from one month to another, no interest will be accrued.

Yes, applying for an Amazon card does hurt your credit score by a small amount. When you apply for either the Amazon.com Credit Card or the Amazon.com Store Card, you must authorize a hard pull of your credit, which will temporarily drop your credit score by 5 to 10 points. The same goes for the Amazon.com Secured Credit Card, the Amazon Business American Express Card and the Amazon Business Prime American Express Card. This is typical, as almost every credit card on the market will require a hard pull for approval.

The good news is that even though applying for an Amazon card will hurt your credit, the damage will be minor and won't last long. Your score should bounce back after a few months of responsible credit use. You should strive to always pay on time, and in full if possible. It's also best to use less than 30% of your credit limit.

If you have bad credit, you can apply for the Amazon.com Secured Credit Card. And if you're a business owner with good, you can get either of the business credit cards.
