Santander and Amazon strike a deal for Amazon Visa credit card in Austria, providing customers with rewards for purchases without charging an annual fee.
In a recent development, the Amazon Visa credit card, a collaboration between Amazon and Santander, has been made available for Amazon.de customers in Austria. This card, issued by Zinia, a consumer finance platform of Grupo Santander, offers several benefits and features that make shopping on and off Amazon.de more rewarding and convenient.
One of the key advantages of the Amazon Visa credit card is the absence of an annual fee. This means that cardholders can enjoy the benefits of the card without worrying about additional costs each year.
Another notable feature is the cashback rewards in the form of Amazon points. Customers earn 1% back in points for purchases on Amazon.de and 0.5% for other purchases. Prime members, however, receive a higher rewards rate of 2% back in points during select Amazon.de shopping events. These points can be redeemed for purchases on Amazon.de, enhancing the value of every transaction.
For those who prefer to manage their repayments, the Amazon Visa credit card offers flexible installment options. This feature allows cardholders to choose how they want to pay their balances, providing control over their repayment schedule.
The card also comes with automatic monthly billing, ensuring that outstanding balances are debited from the cardholder's linked bank account each month, avoiding missed payments and unexpected interest.
In terms of convenience, the Amazon Visa credit card does not require customers to open a new bank account. Instead, they can link their existing bank account for payments.
To further enhance user control and transparency, the Amazon Visa card provides an app and web portal by Zinia by Santander. These tools offer real-time transaction notifications, credit limit adjustments, PIN setting, and tracking of earned points.
The sign-up bonus for the Amazon Visa credit card varies for Prime and non-Prime members. Prime members receive a sign-up bonus of up to €15, while other customers receive a bonus of up to €10. The bonus will be credited to the first Amazon Visa monthly statement.
Rocco Bräuniger, Country Manager of Amazon Germany, expressed his excitement about the introduction of Amazon Visa to amazon.de customers in Austria, stating, "We are thrilled to offer our Austrian customers a rewarding payment method that makes shopping on Amazon.de even more enjoyable."
Ramón Billordo, Head of Zinia, also shared his enthusiasm about the expansion of the business with Zinia, saying, "We are excited to partner with Amazon to bring this innovative credit card to Austrian customers."
