How to Apply for the First Interstate Platinum MasterCard Credit Card

If you’re someone who’s looking for a credit card without all the bells and whistles, without rewards programs, special features and extra frills then you would be wise to look into the First Interstate Bank Platinum MasterCard. With this card you will enjoy an APR of 3.99% for the first year, and a very reasonable 7.50% – 17.50% APR after that (APR is subject to change). This is an excellent rate considering you pay no annual fee. However, a few things you might normally like in a credit card are not included, such as travel insurance, road assistance, and other such services in the same vein. But the small benefits that do come with it, combined with a competitive APR, might make this card a great choice for you.
