Are you a NASCAR superfan? If not, you can stop reading this review right now. There are most likely better rewards credit cards out there to meet your personal financial needs.
However, if you love NASCAR and simply can't ignore the opportunity to sport some NASCAR plastic in your wallet too, your moment has finally arrived. NASCAR has partnered up with Credit One Bank to offer the Official NASCAR Visa credit card to all of its superfans out there, regardless of your credit level.
Here's a quick breakdown of the most important things you should know about this card before filling out an application.
So If you have excellent credit, your card should come with no annual fee. If you fall in the average credit range, you can expect an annual fee in the $35-$75 range, and those with bad credit will have to fork over a hefty annual fee in the range of $75-$99.
But while the annual fees differ, the rewards structure is essentially the same. All cardholders will earn 2 percent cash back on purchases at NASCAR.com. Of course, that won't amount to a lot unless you spend way too much of your disposble income on NASCAR apparel and trinkets! In addition, if you qualify for the excellent credit version of the card, you will receive 1 percent cash back on all qualifying purchases. Cardholders with the other versions of the card for average and bad credit, will only receive 1 percent cash back on gas and automotive purchases.
The rest of the advertised perks are pretty much what you would expect from any major credit card these days. Cardholders will enjoy zero fraud liability, email or text alerts to remind you when payments are due, automatic reviews of your credit line, a flexible payment due date so you can choose what works best for you, and free online credit-score tracking. Nothing that exciting here, but these are certainly all nice to have.
