How to Apply for the ACS BankAmericard Cash Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card

Members of the American Chemical Society (ACS) have the opportunity to apply for a ACS Cash Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card, complete with a nifty periodic table set as the card’s background image; how chic! Like the other cash rewards credit cards available from Bank of America, this card enables users to earn back a percentage on their purchases. The way the rewards program works is this: earn 3% cash back on fuel and 2% cash back on groceries for the first $2,500 in combined gas/grocery purchases made each quarter, earn 1% cash back on all other purchases. The interest rates are about average, though if your credit rating is strong, your APR for purchases and balance transfers could be as low as 13.24% (APR is subject to change). For those interested in applying, we at cardreviews.org have created an easy-to-follow guide, located just below, which will hold your hand as you make your way through the application process.

All applicants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Bank of America privacy policy to make completely sure that all personal information is being properly protected.
