Amazon Prime Credit Card strategy

I thought I would share a credit card strategy that I recently did:

One of my credit cards offers free Amazon Prime for 1 year ($139).

With that free Amazon Prime, I applied for Amazon's Visa signature card which gives 5% on purchases done through Amazon, Whole Foods, and even the Chase travel portal.

The Amazon Prime Visa signature card right now is offering a free Amazon gift card of $200 (if you are approved).

However to use this card, you need to open a Chase account which right now, if you open a Chase total checking account (and keep a minimum balance of $1500 along with direct deposits of $500 within 90 days) they will give you $300.

In total, this is a free $639 (before taxes of course).
