There’s still time to get a $150 Amazon Gift Card for the Big Day. Here is the Method

Amazon’s October Prime Day event is officially live. If you’re shopping for the holidays or picking up a gift, you can get a $150 Amazon gift card to help you save even more once you’re approved for a Prime Visa credit card.

The Prime Visa card is CNET’s top credit card pick for shopping at Amazon, and its welcome bonus is a big reason why. While most welcome bonuses require you to reach a spending limit to receive the welcome bonus, all you have to do is be approved for the credit card to hold this gift card. The Prime Visa card also offers 5% cash back at Amazon.com and Whole Foods, and 5% back on Chase Travel purchases.

There’s one catch — you’ll need a Prime subscription to apply for this card, which costs $139 a year. If you don’t use Amazon often enough to warrant adding an annual Prime subscription to your wallet, there’s another option: Amazon Visa*. The Amazon Visa comes with a $50 gift card upon approval, earns 3% back at Amazon and Whole Foods and requires no prime membership.
