No, you cannot use your Amazon Store Card everywhere you want. The Amazon Store Card and the Prime version of this card can only be used to make purchases on Amazon.com and at Amazon's physical stores, Whole Foods Market, Amazon Fresh, Amazon Go, and Amazon Style.
It is worth noting that the Amazon Store Card can be used on most purchases on Amazon.com, with the exception of a few items and services, listed below.
Items That Can’t Be Purchased With the Amazon Store Card
Digital subscriptions (including magazines and newspapers)
Purchases from Amazon subsidiaries (excluding Audible)
Treasure Truck (text alert feature for exclusive, highly-discounted products)
Considering the wide range of things you can buy on Amazon, these exclusions shouldn’t necessarily keep you from applying for the Amazon Store Card. You’ll still get a big discount on Amazon purchases by using this card as a Prime member, after all. You can learn more about this offer from our in-depth Amazon Store Card review.
Alternative Credit Card Option
If you’re looking for a similar credit card that can be used anywhere, you should consider getting the Amazon Credit Card. This card is on the Visa network, so it can be used virtually anywhere credit cards are accepted. Plus, it offers a $50 Amazon.com gift card upon approval ($100 for Prime members), and you can also earn 1 - 5 points per $1 spent on purchases.
Keep in mind that you need at least good credit to get approved for the Amazon Credit Card. So, make sure you know where you stand before applying. You can check your credit score for free, right here on WalletHub.
