I have noticed a new payment option for some bigger ticket items. 5 monthly payments the 5 payments equal the same price if you were to pay once up front. I am not seeing any ryhme or reason to which products are offering this option. -------------------------------------- Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

Intriguing. Do you still get the 5% rewards if you pay for it that way with an Amazon-linked CC? | |||

Have no idea I have not selected the option. I am guessing so it would just be spread over the 5 months. -------------------------------------- Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. Soren Kierkegaard | |||

The Walton family (of Walmart fame) owns Arvest Bank, the third largest privately owned bank in the country. Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, also founded Arvest Bank back in the 1960s. So while Walmart Inc. doesn't directly have its own bank, they effectively do. In fact, around here, many Walmart stores have Arvest bank locations inside. | |||

Hey! I like stuff |
I haven't seen that outside of the Amazon devices, Kindle, Echo, etc. Do you have an example of a product that Amazon doesn't make where they are offering those five month payment terms? . | |||

I saw some blurb about this, and wondered how it fit in with their AMZN card. I already have that, and use it rarely, but for an occasional really large purchase will. 6 months no interest has always been the deal. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

LG 34UM68-P 34-Inch 21:9 UltraWide IPS Monitor with FreeSync https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B...cp_api_1F2cAbM7YST83 For me it only shows the 5 month payment option when I am logged into the app but not the website. I am wanting a new PC to run my cameras and would not mind paying over 5 months but have seen no PCs with that payment option. Seems pretty random at the moment. -------------------------------------- Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. Soren Kierkegaard | |||

Which Amazon card do you have? I have the Chase rewards CC. No 6 months without interest I am aware of. -------------------------------------- Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. Soren Kierkegaard | |||

He's probably referencing the store card. I have both. "In order to understand recursion, you must first learn the principle of recursion." | |||

They are damn sure going to try...and likely succeed. I suspect, though, that at some point in the near future Amazon will be looking down the barrel of some antitrust laws. ________________________________________________________ "How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!

I believe that you lose the 5% cash back that the Amazon store card gives you if you break the payments up. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

CVS is probably shitting bricks due to Amazon securing pharmacy licensing in several states. | |||

Go ahead punk, make my day |
I use it and pay it off. It gives 5% off on everything, so it's great. | |||
