The Compound Verdict
This card is history. Amazon launched the U.S. Bank-issued Prime Business Card and Amazon Business Card on May 13, 2026, and existing Amex cardholders received replacement U.S. Bank cards they could use from August 14, with rewards carried over. Amazon says the new Prime Business Card earns 5% on up to $150,000 a year of U.S. Amazon, AWS and Whole Foods purchases for Prime members, with no annual or foreign transaction fee. Look there, not here.
