Chase issues Amazon Visa cards, no other bank.I'm a little confused, I heard you needed a chase bank account to get a Amazon Visa and I only have bank of America.
Then I heard you actually can get a Amazon Visa with bank of America so I called customer service and asked them if you can get a Amazon Visa with a bank of America account and the dude kept saying "I'm not sure what you mean".....
Anyone here got a Amazon Visa with bank of America?

You dont need a chase bank account to get a chase credit card. Ive got like 4 different cards thru chase. If you want the amazon visa, you apply for the amazon visa.Should I get a chase bank account or just buy the laptop with a bank of america credit card and pay it off periodically?
A credit card is not something you pay off periodically, it's something that should be paid off as you use it. If you need long term credit look into a credit line, the interest is going to be much lower.
It’s a trap. You’re far better off saving up for a laptop than financing one. Paying interest sucks and is to be avoided.I can't just split the price of the laptop and pay it off monthly?
Like $150 a month for a year to add up to $1800?

You're going to end up paying way more for that laptop in the long run.
The only things you should finance are things that will get more expensive if you wait, like housing or renovation projects.
Now we all cheat sometimes, myself included, and put stuff on credit that could have waited, but it's usually unwise to do that especially for a highly depreciating asset like a laptop. Especially when you can get a similar item for MUCH cheaper. I would start looking on Ebay at used laptops if you really need one and buy it cash. It will at least get you by. By cash I mean, use CC to pay for it as it's really the only option online but pay it off right away.
He’s looking at a buy now, pay later option which technically does not have interest if you make the monthly payments. Not saying it’s a great idea but it’s different than throwing something on at 22% APRYou're going to end up paying way more for that laptop in the long run.

A couple cards I have are good about this, giving you a warning that you're approaching the end of the promo date for a balance, and also have tables showing the remaining amount on that promo, and how much interest you're going to be hit with if you fail to fulfill the zero interest payment period.There's a lot of ifs ands and buts regarding "free" financing. If you don't do exactly what you're told to do, when you're told to do it, you can default, and pay all the financing for the term.
Do you need to go to a bank to get one in the US? Amazon tries to force one on me everytime I buy something from them!I just went to a chase bank and told them I wanted a Amazon Visa and they made me an appointment for tomorrow and they said I don't need a chase bank account to get the Amazon Visa.
I suppose I should ask... do you have any bank account?
Nope! But it's Gizmo, so, I mean... probably not a bad idea?Do you need to go to a bank to get one in the US? Amazon tries to force one on me everytime I buy something from them!
No. You can get one online and have it mailed to you.Do you need to go to a bank to get one in the US? Amazon tries to force one on me everytime I buy something from them!
That is correct. Chase manages the Amazon Visa card. But, that has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not you have other Chase accounts. You can have tons of Chase accounts or no Chase accounts and still get that credit card.I just went to a chase bank and told them I wanted a Amazon Visa and they made me an appointment for tomorrow and they said I don't need a chase bank account to get the Amazon Visa.
The correct way to do this is to put $150 a month into your bank account. Wait until you have $1800, THEN buy it with that money. Any other method of buying a $1800 laptop will keep you poor.I can't just split the price of the laptop and pay it off monthly?
