How to Apply for the Banana Republic Credit Card

The Banana Republic Credit Card is a rewards card which, as one could probably assume, is catered to those who frequently shop at Banana Republic. It may appear to the laymen as a desirable acquisition to any wallet, however, we would warn against getting within ten feet of this particular credit card. The card-issuer has attempted to bait the avid shopper by promising 5 points/dollar for in-store purchases and 1 point/dollar on everything else, which seems attractive until you become aware the 24.99% APR. This interest rate is well above the average and is one that should cause a number of red flags for anyone shopping for a fair and reasonable credit card. Furthermore, if you don’t qualify for the Visa option (see terms and conditions), you will be stuck with a less advantageous store credit card which has even greater limitations. If you’re still interested in applying, we’ve compiled a step-by-step tutorial below which will take you through the online application process. Proceed at your own risk.
