Our Verdict
The Amazon Barclaycard offers decent cashback rewards for Amazon shoppers but has limitations for broader spending. Its low-interest promotional period is attractive for new users.
Pros
- 1% cashback on Amazon purchases
- 0% interest on purchases for 6 months
- No annual fee
- £30 welcome gift card bonus
- Prime members earn 2% during key events
Cons
- 0.5% cashback on all other purchases (drops to 0.25% after a year)
- High APR of 28.9% after the introductory period
- Limited rewards outside Amazon
- Activation bonus might require app use
The Amazon Barclaycard targets Amazon shoppers with a solid 1% cashback on purchases made on the platform. This card is particularly appealing with its £30 welcome gift card bonus, which is split into a £20 Amazon gift card on approval and an additional £10 after card activation in the app.
While the 0% interest on purchases for the first 6 months is a significant advantage, the 28.9% APR thereafter can be daunting for those who carry a balance. Additionally, cashback drops to 0.25% on non-Amazon purchases after the first year, which may not justify the card for users who spend outside Amazon.
Customer service and app usability can vary, so potential users might want to check reviews before committing. Unlike other cashback cards, such as the Barclaycard Rewards Card, which offers more flexible cashback options, this card is best for those who primarily shop at Amazon.

Watch Out
Be cautious of the high APR after the promotional period and the reduced cashback rate after the first year.
Best For
This card is ideal for frequent Amazon shoppers looking to earn rewards on their purchases. It's less suited for those who spend widely across different categories.
