Just got my first statement for this card. The points you've earned are clearly displayed and broken down into points on Amazon purchases and points from other purchases. Still no $20 GC yet though. I also have 0% for a year. I cancelled my First USA GE Rewards Mastercard and they rolled that credit limit into my Amazon Visa limit. Just gotta cancel my First USA Cash Rewards Visa now.

Needs to contact an admin about multiple accounts
I wrote BankOne and asked about the $20 GC and they bluntly told me it was not their problem or responsibility, and to contact Amazon, who when contacted, gave me a form reply, which did not answer a thing.

My situation was strange. I actually got a rejection letter from them saying that I had too much credit at the same bank. (I have 2 other Bank One Visas). I thought about calling them to cancel one of the other cards...but instead I just reapplied. The second time I got approved and they gave me a credit limit of $17,000!!! Go figure. (also includes 0% for 12 months and I had one of those $30 GC offers rather than $20. Of course we are all still waiting for the GC to show up!)

I contacted Amazon about this--mainly because I signed up for a $20 GC but asked about the $30 GC. They, apparently, are the ones to ask. HOWEVER, they haven't been able to give me any answers yet. More later.

Got my $20 GC last night. Now I'm just waiting for the $30 GC from making an apparel purchase 2 weeks ago.

Back on topic, I received a $20 promo and emailed them--then I received a $10 promo.

The 2% off vehicle purchases is with the Citibank Drivers Edge card (the old Ford Citibank card). New members only qualify for 1%, however, old Ford Citibank cardholders (circa 1995) were grandfathered in at the 2% rate. It's pretty cool, you can use the rebate on any new vehicle purchase or lease. I think you are limited to $700/year up to $3,500 (as points expire after five years).
Back to the Amazon show....here is the email I received

If you did not apply for your Visa credit card before November 1,
2002; we also offered another opportunity for our customers to apply

About the Amazon email, I got the same one. And it means absolutely nothing. There was no GC on the account, and I tried telling them that. It wasn't until after I received my $20 that they were even able to understand that I was asking for $10 more. They've really dropped the ball with their understanding of this entire issue. But they'll understand eventually.
I'm still waiting for a $5 refund from my SPIDER-MAN order of over a month ago. Yes, over a month ago. Still processing. It's going to be a fun next few weeks trying to get good service from Amazon...
