Rewards points for paying for PPC via credit card?

I tried switching to American Express, but American Express did not award points, so I switched to Visa, which also did not award points. I’ll keep it charging on my card so I can have 30 days to pay, but does anyone get rewards points for charging on their card? Both my cards award points, but not for Amazon PPC.

The highest point cards are Chase Ink Preferred followed by Amex Gold for marketing including Amazon PPC. I have both but never went beyond the point limit on Chase to switch to the Amex yet.

There are reddit forums explaining this which is where I got the info from long ago.

I don’t have Amex gold, but the one I have isn’t rewarding me for PPC. It rewards me for other purchases, though.

Thanks for the responses, though. I’ll keep these cards in mind if I ever decide on one more card. I don’t want too many cards right now.

Yes not all do. That’s the issue and not all give you the same reward points for advertising spend. The one’s I mentioned do so if you can get a hold of them and your spend is high enough - you can calculate if its worth it. Since each card has an annual fee

Our Capital One Visa has NO annual fee …

For us to accept a credit card, it can not have an annual fee and must have a rewards program for a service that we use and that we can benefit from.

And we never ever carry a balance.

The fee calculation depends on your spend.

Capital one is 1.5-2 x reward for $1 spend on ppc?

Whereas Chase In Preferred is 3x for every $1 spend

The two vying options are Chase Ink and Amex Gold - but iirc Chase points are higher penny to penny value than Amex points.

We like airline miles, so I have a Bank of America Business MC and a Barclays Aviator Business MC.

(I have two because the BOA one kept getting stolen by a vendor - I solved that by using PayPal as a “front” for charges, but now I have two)

@Amazon_Seller are you still working on this? Is there a card that’s working for you, mentioned or not?

I have yet to check my latest card, which supposedly gives me 1.5% back on everything, no matter what category. Let’s see if that works.

UPDATE: Yes! My new BofA credit card does give me rewards for advertising. Yay! :slight_smile:

Agree about not carrying a balance, BUT

BUT do not be so firm on the “annual fee” deal breaker.

Had Amex Gold paying me 5x the transportation spend for the last 4 years.
Got me 500,000 points - just on my usps/fedex bill

Anyway - Amex got wise, and took the Transportation off this years. But I think they added Marketing.
