For the moment, you won’t be able to apply for the Amazon Barclaycard if you already have a Barclaycard or had one within the past six months. We'll update this page when that changes. You can apply if you have a corporate Barclaycard but not a personal Barclaycard.

Before you apply

We'll take you to Amazon to start your application, and you’ll typically get a response within minutes. If approved, you can start using your new card on Amazon and online as soon as it appears in your Barclays or Barclaycard app. 

Amazon will add your new card to your Amazon.co.uk wallet, and set it as the default payment method for your Amazon purchases. We’ll send a plastic card to your home address within 7 working days.

To be approved you need to:

  • Be 18 years old or over and a UK resident

  • Be able to afford repayments on any outstanding credit commitments

  • Have not had a Barclaycard for the past 6 months

  • Have no Individual Voluntary Agreements, County Court Judgments or declarations of bankruptcy within the past 6 years

You’re more likely to be approved if you: 

  • Always make payments on time

  • Have at least 4 years’ experience of managing credit

  • Have a personal income of more than £20,000 a year

  • Pass a ‘soft’ (eligibility) credit check. This helps us estimate the credit limit you could get and won’t affect your credit score

What you'll need to hand:

  • Address details for the last 2 years

  • Phone number and email address

  • Current employment details

  • Details of your annual income before tax

  • Details of your monthly income after tax
