Just in time for Amazon Prime Day: Get a $200 Amazon gift card with a new Prime Visa credit card
The Prime Visa card is one of the most rewarding cards for Amazon (AMZN) shoppers because of its high rewards rate on Amazon.com purchases. And now, with perfect timing for Prime Day 2025 (July 8-11), you can get a $200 Amazon gift card instantly upon approval to put toward your next Amazon purchase. For ongoing value, there's no annual fee to worry about, and you always get 5% back on Amazon with an eligible Prime membership.
If you're approved for a new Prime Visa card, you'll instantly receive a $200 Amazon gift card in your Amazon account's gift card balance. This is an excellent offer for two reasons:
Most credit card sign-up bonuses aren't immediately available once earned
The typical welcome bonus for Prime Visa is a $150 gift card
Note that the Prime Visa does not have an annual fee, but you do need an eligible Prime membership to qualify.
Amazon Prime Day 2025 is July 8-11, giving you plenty of opportunities to find deals before, during, and after the popular shopping event. Whether it's buying new apparel, household items, or electronics (like AirPods), a $200 gift card can go a long way in covering all or some of your purchases.The Prime Visa makes the most sense for frequent Amazon shoppers who have an eligible Prime membership. Prime Visa cardholders earn unlimited 5% back on Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and Chase Travel purchases. If any of these categories align with your typical spending, that's essentially 5% savings on purchases you already make.
And no other card really comes close to the consistent level of earning on Amazon and Whole Foods Market purchases.
In addition, the Prime Visa isn't locked into its top-earning categories. You can use the card wherever Visa credit cards are accepted, earning unlimited 2% back at gas stations, restaurants, and on local transit and commuting services (including rideshares), and 1% back on all other eligible purchases.

Employers want to hire Gen Z workers who have knowledge of AI: ‘You were born into this shift'
The most valuable skill an employee can have in the digital age is… the ability to ask AI? Titans of the tech industry have taken to social media and other public speaking engagements to reassure Gen-Z, the newest members of the workforce, that AI won't be detrimental to job availability — in fact, it might be able to aid in their employment. 'AI is changing everything, faster than most institutions, companies or curriculums can keep pace with. But no, that doesn't mean your education or potential is obsolete. It means we have to think differently about what growth and opportunity look like,' wrote LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman in a recent post on the platform. Advertisement 'You were born into this shift. You're native to these tools in a way that older generations aren't. Lean into it. Teach others.' 5 'You are Generation AI,' LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman wrote online, addressing recent graduates. REUTERS 'You don't have to become an engineer to use AI powerfully,' Hoffman advised. 'Think about how to apply it creatively, how to solve real problems with it, how to collaborate with it. One of your first reactions to any challenge should be 'How can I use AI to help me here?'' Advertisement 5 According to a study by KPMG and the University of Melbourne, 4 in 5 students use AI regularly in their studies. Supatman – Hoffman isn't the only one at his level who is optimistic about AI's influence on the workforce — other high-level tech execs offered similar thoughts about the future landscape of the job market. 5 On June 17, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy shared company-wide updates about the tech giant's use of AI. REUTERS Amazon CEO Andy Jassy shared that the implementation of generative AI will likely 'reduce' the company's corporate workforce. Advertisement AI 'should change the way our work is done,' wrote Jassy in a memo distributed to employees and posted publicly. 'Those who embrace this change, become conversant in AI, help us build and improve our AI capabilities internally and deliver for customers, will be well-positioned to have high impact and help us reinvent the company,' he added. 5 AI is being implemented into numerous industries and products, ranging from websites to cars, as seen at this Tesla showcase. JEANNE ACCORSINI/SIPA/Shutterstock Overall, the message coming from industry leaders is that being adaptive and willing to incorporate AI into current professional practices is the real key to being well-positioned for the future job market — but this idea is being obscured under encouraging niceties that are fed to Gen-Z. Advertisement 'Whilst they may be at an advantage with their AI skills more so than previous generations, they will still need the practical, world-wise experience to flush out any AI inconsistencies and errors that older workers will possess,' Keith Arundale, a visiting fellow at the UK's Henley Business School, told Newsweek. 'Comfort without mastery can backfire. Gen Z's early exposure is an advantage, but it isn't a golden ticket,' agreed Fabian Stephany, assistant professor for AI and Work at the University of Oxford, in an interview with Newsweek. 5 Anthropic is the AI company, co-founded by Dario Amodei, responsible for the popular large language model (LLM) AI chatbot, Claude. AP Despite the positive packaging that this potential employment crisis tends to be wrapped up in, some top tech figures remain skeptical. Automation and increased usage of AI by large companies is 'going to happen in a small amount of time — as little as a couple of years or less,' Dario Amodei, CEO of AI company Anthropic, told Axios. 'We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming. I don't think this is on people's radar,' Amodei continued. In reality, Gen-Z isn't necessarily better equipped to handle the demands of modern-day jobs just because of a generational familiarity with AI. They still need soft skills and the social abilities to properly navigate dilemmas that professional environments often pose — employers and industry leaders just tend to leave that part out.

Amazon employees slam CEO Andy Jassy's memo about AI killing corporate jobs
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told employees Tuesday that AI will shrink the company's corporate white-collar workforce over the next few years, citing "efficiency gains" as the driving force. Amazon employees weren't having it. Across internal Slack channels, Amazon's white-collar workers tore into Jassy's message, taking aim at his leadership and unapologetic push for AI, according to messages seen by Business Insider. Business Insider viewed dozens of messages found across three different internal channels, which include thousands of employees in total. The criticism was widespread across the channels. Some called for a shift in the company's mindset and warned of the risks of overrelying on AI. Others voiced blunt concerns about looming layoffs, while a few demanded that leadership share in the fallout. "There is nothing more motivating on a Tuesday than reading that your job will be replaced by AI in a few years," one person wrote in Slack. Some Amazon employees seemed to agree with Jassy's move. One person wrote that middle management in general could be replaced by Amazon's AI app and "no one would notice," alluding to the company's decision to reduce management layers this year. "At least he said the quiet part out loud," another employee wrote. "We all knew it but now it's clearly part of the plan." Amazon's spokesperson didn't respond to a request for comment. AI as a partner or replacement One key debate centered on how AI should be positioned within a corporate environment. Many of the internal Slack messages noted that a 50% productivity boost from AI gives companies two options: reduce the workforce and maintain current output, or keep the team intact and grow the business. Amazon, in this case, is choosing to do the same with less, they argued. "We need to lead the change in reframing AI as partners (even teammates or colleagues) rather than AI as replacements or tools," one person wrote. "It's a slightly different vision than the one Andy alludes to." Another person wrote that Jassy is defining success as "a smaller corporate workforce," not in terms of customer satisfaction. BI previously reported that Amazon is freezing its hiring budget for its retail business this year. "He, as the CEO, has shown he can deliver on one of those things and not the other," this person wrote. 'Real consequences' Others voiced concerns about leaning too heavily on AI without proper safeguards. While some found summary tools useful, employees warned that AI isn't always a reliable source of truth. It can lead to poor decisions and a future where people turn to AI to solve problems it caused in the first place, they said. "It's dangerous, and it will have real consequences," one of the employees wrote. Some employees questioned whether Tuesday's memo signaled more layoffs ahead. One remarked that any message from Jassy fills them with instant "deep dread," while another saw it as yet another example of his relentless focus on cost-cutting over the years. "This seems to be the [antithesis] of Think Big, and is part of a continual trend that our CEO doesn't seem to have a vision for the company other than 'do what we do today cheaper, and also AI will happen,'" one of the people wrote. Some employees took a cynical view of the role of senior executives, questioning why AI-driven cuts seem to target rank-and-file workers while top leadership remains untouched. Amazon's senior S-team, for example, has only expanded under Jassy's watch. "Will it result in less SVPs?" one of the people wrote.

Trump Will Extend TikTok Ban Deadline A Third Time
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that President Donald Trump will soon extend a deadline for ByteDance, TikTok's China-based owners, to divest the social media app before Thursday, marking his third delay after an earlier deal for the platform fell through. Leavitt said Trump will sign another executive order to keep TikTok operational in the U.S. for another 90 days, noting the extra time would be used by the Trump administration 'to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure.' Trump told reporters on Air Force One he would 'probably' extend a June 19 deadline for ByteDance to divest from TikTok or sell its assets to an American firm, adding, 'Probably have to get China approval, but I think we'll get it.' Another extension would be Trump's third delaying a forced sale or divestment of TikTok, following earlier orders pushing back the deadline on Jan. 20 and April 4, when a deal was reportedly in place for TikTok's operations to be spun off into a new U.S.-based company before Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs derailed the talks. Trump told NBC News last month he would 'like to see [a deal] done' for TikTok, adding he had a 'little sweet spot in my heart' for the social media platform and he would be 'willing to give it [the deadline] an extension' if needed. It's also unclear whether Trump can continue delaying TikTok's ban. John Acevedo, a law professor at Emory University, argued Trump could continue to delay enforcing legislation for TikTok's ban through executive orders, though he could be forced to allow the ban if challenged by Congress or a court. Under the bill, Trump has the power to delay the ban for up to 90 days if there is 'significant progress' toward a deal. Several companies have emerged as potential suitors for TikTok's assets, including Amazon, Oracle and Microsoft. Amazon's bid for TikTok would include the entire company, unnamed people familiar with the offer told the New York Times, though some parties involved in the talks 'do not appear to be taking Amazon's bid seriously.' AppLovin reportedly made an offer for TikTok and spoke with billionaire Steve Wynn about backing the deal, after the company told the Trump administration it could address national security concerns about the app if it held ownership. The White House previously spoke with Oracle about a deal that would give the company oversight of TikTok's U.S. data, Politico reported. Trump has also named Microsoft as a possible buyer while saying he hoped there would be a 'bidding war' for TikTok. Users on TikTok and other social media platforms took credit for attendance at a parade celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and Trump's 79th birthday. Some users advertised how to reserve tickets for the event, noting they had no intention of attending, as other users—including some claiming to be from Europe—said they reserved tickets and wouldn't attend. Social media users used similar tactics for one of Trump's election rallies in 2020, though tickets were not required for Saturday's parade. Legislation requiring TikTok to sell itself to an American company or be banned in the U.S. was signed under President Joe Biden last year. That law followed growing bipartisan national security concerns about the app in recent years, after reports claimed China relied on TikTok's U.S. data to spy on Americans. Forbes previously reported the app spied on journalists, mishandled advertiser data and stored financial data of some creators in China, though ByteDance has denied claims user privacy was compromised. Trump supported a ban on TikTok during his first administration, citing similar national security concerns, before calling on the Supreme Court to block the ban. He issued an executive order in January shortly after he took office, though the app briefly went dark for U.S. users.
