Don’t click. Just order and choose prime day shipping. Amazon will credit your account. They already have your contact info. Why would they ask for it?

This...Amazon knew I had another card with rewards before I ever entered it as a payment method. They never asked for the info. Simply said use it next time at check out.

If you're ever suspect of an email, check the details of the email address that it was sent from. It should be pretty obvious at that point if it's legit.

I started a thread on the Amazon forum (lounge) and asked there. Best answer was a guy said to check my message center on my account and sure enough - both Oct 1 and Oct 4 emails were there. Activated both while in the Amazon Message Center. Cake and pie.

Another Amazon staff said the links would never be IP address type links - i.e. http://123.456.789.123/amazon.com/.
