How to Apply for the Sandy Spring Bank Platinum MasterCard

When compared to other platinum cards, the Sandy Spring Bank Platinum MasterCard isn’t very remarkable. It’s a pretty underwhelming credit card, with no rewards program, an average APR and almost no perks attached to it at all. The perks that this card does offer are quite dissatisfying, but might peak the interest of a few people. A $25 statement credit is rewarded after the user makes their first purchase (as long as it’s within the first 3 billing cycles) and an introductory APR of 0% is offered for the first 12 billing cycles on balance transfers. Keep in mind that, despite there being no interest on balance transfers, a transfer fee will be applied to each transaction, starting at 3% for the first 12 billing cycles, then going up to 5% after that. The purchase APR for this card is, like we said, average. However, those with excellent credit score could be seeing interest rates as low as 10.24%. Anyone with average or poor credit, will be seeing a higher APR anywhere up to 18.24% (APR is subject to change). If you’re still set on applying for the Sandy Spring Bank Platinum MasterCard, we’d be glad to guide you through the application process.
