How to Apply for the Penn State Alumni Association Credit Card

The Penn State Alumni Association Credit Card is a great credit option not just for those involved with the university, but for anyone looking to acquire a card with fair interest rates and a strong rewards program. Based on your credit worthiness, your APR will be somewhere between 13.24%-24.24% for all purchases and balance transfers (APR is subject to change). The rewards program allows cardholders to earn up to 3% cash back when buying fuel, groceries, or any other qualifying purchases as described in the terms and conditions. When you redeem your cash rewards into a Bank of America checking/savings account or an eligible Merrill Lynch Cash Management Account, an extra 10% will be added at the time of redemption. This feature is most certainly attractive to those with an eligible bank account.
