Amazon Prime Credit Card

I received a new credit card in the mail because the current one is expiring next month. I went online to authorize the card, then tried to cut the old one in half. The Amazon card is one of those thick cards made of something a lot stronger than plastic. I was unable to cut it with a pair of scissors, and I did not want to try feeding it to my shredder. Fortunately, Chase (card issuer) included a prepaid envelope for you to mail back the old card so they can destroy it.

Ironically, I only use the card for Amazon purchases and the 5% rebate. It sits at home in an old wallet that contains other cards I do not use. Since it never gets physically used, the extra sturdiness is wasted on me.

I took a look at the year-end summaries for this card. Last year (2021), I spent about $2900 on Amazon purchases. So far this year (9 months), i have spent about $3000. Judging from the large number of Amazon boxes in my garage, I expected a lot more dollars.
