How to Apply for the Amalgamated Bank Visa Bonus Rewards/Rewards Plus Card

Of all the rewards cards offered by Amalgamated Bank, the Amalgamated Bank Visa Bonus Rewards Card and the Visa Rewards Plus Card are the credit options least suited to the average credit card user’s needs. In order to capitalize on the 1.25 points/dollar rewards program (or 1.5 points/dollar for the PLUS option), a cardholder will have to use their card for the majority of their purchases, which could prove costly if their credit score isn’t up to par. Those opting for the Visa Bonus Rewards option won’t be charged an annual fee while those seeking the Bonus PLUS will be required to shell out $50 a year. So, the Visa Bonus Rewards Plus costs an extra $50 a month for only a quarter of a percentile more points earned per dollar spent. Although there is no signup points bonus, there is a rewards of $25 cashback or $50 cash back with the first purchase (for the Visa Bonus Rewards and Visa Bonus Rewards Plus, respectively), as well as a 0% introductory APR for the first 6 billing cycles from your account opening date. If you would like to apply for either of these credit cards, you can scroll down and follow our how-to guide on completing the online application form.
