Amazon Store Card
The Amazon Store Card is Synchrony's closed-loop card for Amazon regulars, and its pitch is financing rather than rewards: equal monthly payments at 0% APR on qualifying purchases of $50 or more, with no annual fee. The 5% back that Amazon advertises alongside it belongs to the Prime Store Card, which this card automatically becomes once you add an eligible Prime membership, so without Prime it earns nothing on ordinary purchases. The card also still offers deferred-interest special financing, and with a 29.49% variable APR charged from the purchase date if a promotional balance is not cleared in time, it only makes sense for buyers who pay financing offers off on schedule.
