How to Apply for an Amazon Credit Card

If you are fond of shopping at Amazon.com, you might be excited to know that you can actually get credit cards for Amazon. Amazon offers its Store Card as well as a Rewards Visa card for its members to use when shopping on their website. You must be a US resident with a US SSN or individual TIN to apply.



Part
1
Choosing a Card
1
Know the banks behind the card. You can get one or both of the cards (subject to Amazon approval) if you want, but before you get one, it is always best to know the pros and cons of the card.
Each credit card is supplied by different banks. The Amazon Store Card is provided by Synchrony Bank and the Rewards Visa card by Chase. Each banks have their own terms and policies, so it is always important to research a bit about the banks behind the cards to get an idea of the good and bad of each.
2
Know the interest rates. The Amazon Store Card has no interest rates if you pay purchases of $149 or more in full within 6 months and purchases of $599 or more in full within 12 months. Some select items sold by Amazon (except items sold by third-party) are actually interest-free if paid in full within 24 months.
Fees for the Rewards Visa can be quite extensive. You can check out official pricing information here.
3
Check the annual fees. Fees, credit card or otherwise, can often jump at you, surprising you with exorbitant amounts if you don’t read the fine print when applying. For Amazon Store Card and the Rewards Visa card, there’s no annual fee.
4
Familiarize yourself with the offers, terms, and conditions. This is important. Always read the fine print of what is being offered when applying for a credit card, and its terms and conditions. You may be surprised that you’ll find something you don’t want.

How to Avoid Dehydration

Dehydration is when your body is losing more fluids than it is taking in. Often heat related, its other names are "heat stress", "heat exhaustion," "heat cramps," and "heat stroke," but it can occur even in cold temperatures. It's a common problem, especially among young children, people exercising, and sick people. Thankfully, it's usually fairly preventable. Steps 1 Prevent it by drinking lots of water daily! By the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Thirst can signal a water loss of 1% of body weight. Light-headedness can occur with as little as a 2% water loss. Water contains no calories and is great for your health in other ways. The amount of water you need is dependent on body weight. Hospitals use a formula to compute water intake needs, because even a patient in a coma needs water! For an adult weighing 150#, 8 oz. of water every hour for 8-10 hours is about right, in a temperate climate, with a sedentary l...

How to Ace a Case Interview

Steps 1 Know what's important. Don't go into the interview with the assumption that your mathematics skills are the most important thing. While they are definitely valued, you can impress your interviewer even more by being knowledgeable on topics that are directly related to consulting, such as economics . 2 Listen to the problem. Make sure you understand exactly what you are being asked to do. Don't be afraid to ask for clarification if you're unsure about a particular point. 3 Devise a problem solving structure. Your interviewer will give you a couple minutes to look over and take notes on the data that they give you. Use this time to your advantage. The interviewer doesn't care if you're smart enough to wing it; you'll look much more impressive if you use the time and are able to communicate your answers in an organized, well thought-out way than if you don't take the time to prepare and end up stumbling over your wor...

How to Apply Eye Cosmetics Safely

Poorly maintained and inappropriately used eye cosmetics can harbor germs and the potential for injury. By applying eye cosmetics with a view to good hygiene and proper usage, you can minimize the chances of spreading any infection or germs. Method 1 Safety conscious application recommendations 1 Wash your hands before applying eye makeup. Your hands are another potential source of transferring germs to your eye area. Remember that fingers harbor bacteria too. If using your fingers to apply cosmetics to the eyes, make sure to wash them well beforehand. 2 When trying on makeup at beauty stores, use new disposable applicators only.

For example, do not apply makeup when driving, as this can lead to eye injuries such as a corneal scratch (which can lead to infection). Applying eye makeup when in motion also risks stabbing your eye with the a...
