How to Apply for the Berkshire Bank Visa Bonus Rewards/Bonus Rewards PLUS Card

The only good reason to consider applying for the Berkshire Bank Visa Bonus Rewards Card or Bonus Rewards PLUS Card is that you are already a client of Berkshire Bank and it’s a convenient option for you. These cards’ rewards points are accumulated at a rate of only 1.25 points (for the Bonus Rewards) or 1.5 points (for the Bonus Rewards PLUS) per dollar spent each month. With no signup bonus points, you will be required to spend a lot of money on your card just to accumulate enough points for redemption to be made possible. The Bonus Rewards PLUS has an annual fee of $50, which seems like a lot to pay for a 1.5/dollar spent rewards program (there is no annual fee for the other option). New cardholders do get a 0% introductory APR for the first 6 billing cycles and a cash reward after their first purchase. However, with its average APR and standard rewards program, you can probably find a better credit card option that meets your needs. If you would like to apply for either of these credit cards, you can scroll down and follow our step-by-step guide on how to complete the online application form.
