How to Apply for the Bank of Edwardsville Visa Bonus Rewards/Rewards PLUS Credit Card

The Bank of Edwardsville Visa Bonus Rewards Credit Card and Bank of Edwardsville Visa Bonus Rewards PLUS Credit Card are very standard rewards credit cards. While they offer the most basic of rewards programs at 1 point per $1 spent, other credit cards often offer increased rewards point opportunities through other purchasing categories. However, these cards do offer an automatic bonus on all points earned every month; the Bonus Rewards card offers 25% bonus on points while the Bonus Rewards PLUS offers 50%. As an added reward users will receive $25 (Bonus Rewards card) or $50 (Bonus Rewards PLUS card) cash back with their first purchase. Cardholders will enjoy a 0% introductory APR period, but after the first 6 billing periods the interest rate will increase. These cards come with the same run-of-the-mill APR that one would expect from a rewards card of this variety, so don’t apply to this one expecting to save on interest. The best part about the Bonus Rewards PLUS is that you have a better chance of acquiring points, but it comes with a $50 (per year) price tag. The Bonus Rewards card has no annual fee attached to it but obviously comes with less point-earning opportunities. If you’re interest in either of these rewards cards, apply for one today by following our short tutorial below.
