RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Prime members earn a very strong 2.5% back on all Amazon.ca and Whole Foods purchases with no caps.
- Prime members earn 2.5% back on foreign currency transactions, effectively wiping out the standard 2.5% foreign exchange fee.
- Rewards are incredibly easy to redeem, applying directly at checkout when shopping on Amazon.ca.
The Trade-offs
- The best earn rates are locked behind a paid Amazon Prime membership; non-Prime members earn significantly less.
- Rewards are trapped in the Amazon ecosystem and cannot be redeemed for statement credits or cash transfers.
