I've had my Prime Visa card for three years, and it comes in handy when I need last-minute gifts or holiday party supplies.
I purchased a Vanilla Visa Gift Card at a grocery store ... They refused to remove the hold and told me the only option was to send a new one in 3-5 day. Problem is I'm on a work trip.
Most cards require you to spend a certain amount in the first few months of account ownership to "earn" a bonus, but the Prime Visa card will send you a $200 Amazon gift card that you can use ...
