I love it. I only use it for shopping at Gap/Banana/Old Navy/Piperlime, but the points add up quickly. I do use it outside the brands when they have bonuses. I always pay it off, so I don't worry about the APR. I'm 5'10 and often need their longs/tall sizes, so I love being able to get free shipping on everything and just return it to the store.

GAP, Limited, VS, maybe one or two more. Now I never open any cards!

A bunch might not be valid anymore. dagret on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351801 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 15:14:24 +0000 dagret 351801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @T-Mom: @mrsbee: I have a BR card and only made luxe one year...but they have kept me at that level ever since.

I haven't used the Macys one in a long time so I should probably just get rid of it. I use my Nordstrom one often though because I shop there regularly. I have had them both since I was 18. regberadaisy on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351582 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 10:52:30 +0000 regberadaisy 351582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a Lowes and Macy's one. With Lowes you get automatic 5% cash back on all purchases. And Macy's gives you coupons just for cardholders. And I think the one time we made a big purchase so it made sense to open one. mrsjyw on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351528 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 09:55:38 +0000 mrsjyw 351528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The only I have is to a furniture store because we got 60 months no interest!

We are debating getting a Lowe's card so we can re-do our kitchen with their low financing terms, but who knows! We also have one through my bank and a Capital One card.

I wasn't happy about it, but it's what we had to do. loveisstrange on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351426 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 07:52:11 +0000 loveisstrange 351426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No way. I worked at VS for a lomg time and, nope, store cards are shady as hell. cheert16 on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351422 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 07:40:02 +0000 cheert16 351422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a couple- Target (but its linked to my debit account so its not really a credit card but I still get the 5% off everything i buy- totally worth it!!) Gap/OldNavy- high interest rate- so it has to be paid off in full every month. Useful to get those $10-$20 rewards though! I also have a Lowes card for 5% off and since we are constantly renovating something- that %5 off is totally worth it!! autumnlove on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351368 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 02:59:32 +0000 autumnlove 351368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a Macy's card that I never use.

I've considered an ON one just because they offer such great discounts for card holders. lemondrop on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351354 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 01:07:40 +0000 lemondrop 351354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The only store card I have is through REI, which I got in college. I'm very wary of signing up for store cards since I don't want to hurt my credit score. If there was one that I used often enough I would consider it, but so far I mostly use a UPromise card for college savings and am happy with that. alayaya on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351352 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 00:55:49 +0000 alayaya 351352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My hubs and I have 1 credit card each, through our bank. I have some membership cards, but those are not the same. shopaholic on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351336 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 23:51:51 +0000 shopaholic 351336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to in college and then cancelled most of them. Now I only have a Nordstrom & a TJMaxx/HomeGoods/Marshalls cards because I rack up rewards certificates fairly quickly on both of them. I have been thinking reinstating my Target card for the 5% off every transaction. The GAP one sounds interesting, but it's seriously a hassle having too many cards! yin on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351330 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 23:33:11 +0000 yin 351330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a Target and Lowe's card for 5% off all purchases.

That's the only store cc I have though. 808love on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351311 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 22:43:58 +0000 808love 351311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ nordstrom Andrea on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351310 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 22:42:33 +0000 Andrea 351310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Gap card is the best! I have a Luxe membership so I never pay shipping. You get so many discounts and then you get rewards for spending money. I only use that and Pottery Barn/Pottery Barn Kids. You earn good rewards there, too.

Love racking up points for Nordie's and getting early access to their sales... And for Target, the 5% off everytime is awesome.

They do 5% cash back on different categories every quarter. For the Fall quarter (now through Dec 31), Kohls is 5% cash back. While it may not be the same next year, you could at least get 5% cash back for this year's Christmas shopping! I've also seen 10% cash back on Kohls through their portal (kinda like Ebates). luckypenny on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351259 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:22:52 +0000 luckypenny 351259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Gap card! So convenient and you get reward points for shopping T-Mom on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351258 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:22:24 +0000 T-Mom 351258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Bee: I just looked it up. You have to spend $800/year to get the br luxe or gap silver status. I am actually shocked I spend that much and am feeling a little like I need to reign it in. But I guess if you buy shoes at piperlime and buy a few higher priced items at BR a year or clothe your kids majority with these brands, you could definitely meet this. ouch. I need to stop shopping. pinkcupcake on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351250 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:17:04 +0000 pinkcupcake 351250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, but I'm considering getting a gap or target card T-Mom on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351247 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:15:37 +0000 T-Mom 351247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Bee: for the BR card, The deal is that you have to make it to luxe level, to get free shipping. which means you have to spend a certain amount, and then you make it there. I can't remember how much it was.. I got there easily since I shop 2 kids and me and DH at Gap, ON, BR, and Piperlime. I'm not really sure which of the different brands is best to have, though. I just happened to have BR card, but you could get a Gap card too. I assume that they have some kind of free shipping level too... It's the only store card I have, aside from Nordstrom. prettylizy on "Do you have any store credit cards?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-store-credit-cards#post-351244 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:14:10 +0000 prettylizy 351244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have 1 credit card through our bank and thats it. We've considered getting a kohls card to save extra money on each purchase, we do a lot of Christmas shopping at Kohls.
