How to Apply for the Big Cat Rescue Affinity Card

The Big Cat Rescue (BCR) Affinity Card is the result of a partnership between BCR and Beneficial Bank, providing a credit card that ensures that a percentage of every purchase made using this card furthers BCR’s mission of freeing big cats from commercial exploitation and stopping feline abuse. Aside from providing support to this animal rights organization, card users will also benefit from a potentially reasonable APR of somewhere between 10.24% to 20.24%, depending on their creditworthiness (APR is subject to change), and a standard rewards program of 1 point per dollar spent. As a signup bonus, for the first 6 billing periods from the account opening date, new cardholders receive an introductory APR of 0%. If you would like to show your support for this moral and worthy cause by applying for this card, you can follow our quick tutorial on how to complete the online application below.
