They’ll be prying my Old Blue Cash from my cold dead hands before I consider this exciting news. I suppose it’s better than just 5% on Amazon and there’s no annual fee which is nice although the fee for Prime technically is hefty enough. Too bad it doesn’t accumulate as 5x UR points. That would be a reason to use it and possibly even shop Whole Paycheck occasionally.
“This is huge. ”
Balderdash. So we crew-families get 5% off whole-wallet for the most expensive grocery chain in the business (plus paying all sorts of annual fees) — and that’s supposed to be “huge?” Must be nice being part of the upper 10%.
How much did you get paid for this? Most uncritical, shallow, puff piece I’ve seen yet on this. Not up to the usual “crew” standards.
I rather think the Drew *TIF one-word tag would have been more on target:
“meh”
escot, there are no annual fees for the Amazon card. If you shop there anyhow, there are no catches. If you don’t like Amazon or their affiliates there’s certainly little point in getting the card.
More being bedazzled by all the Amazon financed hype…..
I was referring to the $100 annual fee (if you pay it annually) for Amazon Prime — to get the 5%. (only 3% if you dare not) Kinda like having to pay that annual membership fee for Sam’s Club (and all the other “clubs” ) — except that model is now rapidly breaking down.
I actually DO like shopping at Amazon — and for a season went prime. But this Whole Foods hype — and all the hyperventilating shilling for this card — just nauseating. (and sorry to see this ordinarily trustworthy site being part of the shilling — sorry Dan.)
