You can't apply from above link. I called Chase Canada and they said the card is not ready until "maybe" next week.

Well, some guy from Redflagdeals found a loophole. He compared the Amazon U.S. and Amazon UK websites, and substitute with .ca, and low and behold, he found the actual link to apply for the card.

I applied and got instant approved and received $15 Amazon GC in my account.
