Amazon Pay now has credit card payment option!

Your Amazon Pay balance account will be marked financially inactive on 18 01 2021. Load money or complete KYC to continue usage: Amazon.com

I keep getting this sms on a daily basis And these jokers decide how much should be loaded in the Pay balance.

Amazon does offer higher cashback on first credit card payment. and speed of payment probably depends upon the card provider. for me stanchart has always taken 2-3 days. but from my understanding, it would be applicable from the date of payment even if you get confirmation later.

I tried this for the first time yesterday and I don't recommend it.

If I pay from SBI card's portal or Cred, They receive payment within few minutes and credit limit is updated accordingly quite quickly.

With Amazon, It took around 12 hours. :/

Since it's just upi why you guys are using it instead of NetBanking or auto-pay?

 

[ishanjain28]

I won't be using it. I just tried it once.

I don't like using Amazon for utility payments anyway since in the bank statements, It shows up as "Amazon <something> <something>" instead of showing me the utility/service name. This just makes it difficult when I am auditing everything later in ynab. :/
