Worst credit card experience as customer.
I applied for this card making sure my credit score was good enough to obtain it. I hate the feeling there are things out of my control so I studied all the requirements before sending the request. I'm a declared fan of all Amazon's products, this couldn't fail.After a few days I got a letter from Chase asking me for some details such as my SSN card and a proof of residence. Fair. During that day, I went to a Chase office in person to show all my papers, and they said "you're approved". Effectively, I got my card a week later. It came with a described list of all basic steps: how to activate it, sign in for online account, etc. Even my Amazon account automatically assigned this card as my default payment method. To make sure it was properly working, I bought a couple of stuffs on Amazon without using the $70 gift card. I thought "I can use the benefit later" and it worked as expected.Sounds like a nice story, right?Well, next day I tried to pay my lunch with my brand-new Amazon Prime Visa but it was rejected. I didn't pay much attention and I just called by the end of the day to Chase. Surprise was to hear they'd decided to close my card without immediate notice. In addition, they said they didn't have access to the actual reasons. They just said I had to wait seven to ten days for a letter with the reasons. I must be honest, I was totally upset with this situation and I thought to send this feedback right away. But, what is a good review without the whole story?Today I got the glorious letter. The reason? NOT ENOUGH CREDIT INFORMATION ON FILE.Really? Don't they have the chance to check this after asking me for my SSN, ID, creating a hard inquiry on my credit score, etc? Don't they have the chance to check this information BEFORE SENDING THE PHYSICAL CARD?I thought Chase + Amazon = best combination.Now, for the very first time, I cannot recommend an Amazon product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Predatory interest policy - and I am a loan underwriter!
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2018

This card has sneaky interest rate policies that you should be aware of prior to getting the card. I am a loan underwriter and credit analyst, so this experience was particularly irritating because I know exactly how credit cards work! I received my first statement and paid all but $25 (by accident, meant to pay in full) on time. So my carryover balance was $25, which I would expect to be charged interest for. However, on the next statement I see I have been charged interest for the full balance PLUS my new purchases, of which I was still within the grace period at that point. This happened again the following month. So I called Chase and was told that for this particular card, if you don't pay the balance in full they charge interest on the TOTAL balance - not the carry-over balance like most other credit cards, which in my case was $25 - PLUS they will forego the grace period on your current purchases! I told them I won't be using this card anymore, and that this is predatory. Beware, if you can't pay the balance in full by the due date each month, the interest you will be charged is not worth the rewards; you will wind up spending more on interest than you will receive back. My FICO is in the 800s and they are charging over 15% APR - with no grace period because of that $25 carryover the first month - so I imagine the average interest rate on this card is well over 20%. There are much better reward cards out there that don't practice usury.

4.0 out of 5 stars Challenges you could easily fix.

I have two suggestions that would make use of my Chase Visa card easier more useful. First, I receive your monthly statement electronically. That works fine for me; however my monthly routine to check my statement begins with printing the statement. For a long time that worked well because I could print my statement on 8.5" by 11" paper. Than for some unexplained reason you one day decided to change the statement format so that the pages require 8.5" by 14" paper. My printer doesn't handle 14" paper; therefore your statement has become a nuisance. I try to handle this problem (yes it's a problem for me) by limiting purchases so my list of transactions can fit on a 11" piece of standard paper. I use my American Express card for more transactions than I like because my limit there is more than double than your limit for me. Why did you suddenly change from 11" to 14" paper??
The second issue I have with your company is I need a higher credit limit. I've asked for one, but was told I needed to apply for an increase which would entail unblocking my records at Trans Union, Equifax and TransUnion. I've kept them blocked because I was hacked after the State of South Carolina's Department of Revenue's income tax files were hacked. You know how much is in my checking account and you apparently know my annual income is about $600,000 of 650,000. I would like you to increase my limit to at lease 40,000. unless you want me to continue using American Express.
