Prime members also receive a sign-up bonus of up to €15, other customers of up to €10.
An accompanying app enables user to track rewards balances and the redemption of points on checkout at Amazon.
Ramón Billordo, head of Zinia, says: "We continue to expand our business with Zinia, our digital consumer finance platform, and as of today, the Amazon Visa card is now available to Austrian residents. We are delighted to collaborate once again with a globally recognised brand like Amazon and to continue providing alternative banking experiences for customers’ shopping needs."
