How to Apply for the First State Bank Visa Bonus Rewards/Rewards Plus Card

The First State Bank Visa Bonus Rewards and Bonus Rewards Plus Card are two cards which offer potential cardholders a reasonable APR (assigned based on your credit score) and a fairly standard rewards program. The rewards program earns cardholders 1 rewards point for every 1 dollar spent and, at the end of each month, awards a 25% or 50% bonus on all points earned that month (for Bonus Rewards and Bonus Rewards Plus respectively). This means you will be earning more rewards on every dollar you spend. It’s worth noting that the Bonus Rewards option comes with no annual fee, whereas Bonus Rewards Plus comes an annual fee of $50. So, if you’re looking for the cheaper option, you should probably go with Bonus Rewards. To further entice prospective applicants, the card-issuer (Elan Financial Services) awards new cardholders with a 0% introductory APR for their first 6 billing cycles and a $25/$50 statement credit after their first purchase is made.
