Save big on Black Friday shopping by Tarah Chieffi, Senior writer This is going to be a pretty big week, but if you think I'm talking about turkey, cranberry sauce and football, you are only partially correct. This week also marks the official start of the holiday shopping season. If, like me, you've already made a Black Friday list (and checked it twice), I have exciting news: You can save $250 on your Amazon shopping haul and earn cash back on Amazon purchases with an exciting limited-time offer on the no-annual-fee Prime Visa. New Prime Visa cardholders will receive a $250 Amazon gift card instantly upon approval. If you apply today, you can start your Black Friday shopping immediately. Thousands of items are already on sale. Only Prime members are eligible for this card's exciting welcome offer, but you can easily get a free 30-day trial membership if you aren't already a member. In addition to $250 to spend on holiday shopping, you'll earn 5% cash back at Amazon, Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market; 2% cash back at restaurants and gas stations; 2% cash back on local transit and commuting; and 1% cash back on everything else. All that and no annual fee? Now that is something to be thankful for. If you can't tell, I think preparing for Black Friday is almost as important as preparing the Thanksgiving turkey, and these stories will help you save while you shop: Limited-time offer: Instantly get a $250 Amazon gift card Prime Visa card review: A must-have for Prime members Check it out: Best-ever welcome offer on the Prime Visa Is the Prime Visa credit card worth the cost?
