Our review
An obvious powerhouse for those with a lot of spend at Amazon and Whole Foods with 5% cash back if you hold an Amazon Prime membership.
Many spend tens of thousands a month with AWS web services and 5% cash back on that can be huge, especially when you consider that cash back earned on a credit card is considered a rebate on spend and is not taxable as income.
While we are generally partial to cards that earn transferrable bank points, heavy Amazon spenders will do well with the 5% offered here.
