New plastic, same Amazon playbook
Amazon is back with a fresh way to keep businesses tapping “buy now” on its site. The company launched the Prime Business Card and Amazon Business Card, both aimed at turning routine purchasing into a rewards-fueled loyalty loop.
What’s in the wallet?
The cards are issued by U.S. Bank and run on the Mastercard network, which means they work beyond Amazon too. Amazon says cardholders get:
- rewards when shopping on and off Amazon
- flexible financing for purchases
- no annual fee
- no foreign transaction fees
That’s the kind of combo that sounds a lot like Amazon saying, “Sure, save money—just keep buying with us.”
Why investors should care
This isn’t just about handing out shiny new cards. Amazon keeps finding ways to make its commerce engine a little harder to leave, especially for business customers who order constantly and care about cash flow. The more spending Amazon can anchor inside its ecosystem, the more valuable the platform becomes.
Big picture: Amazon doesn’t just want to be where you shop. It wants to be where your business swipes, finances, and keeps coming back for more.
