Logged into my Banana Republic card account and noticed a new picture where the card image goes. Suggests they may be changing the Banana Republic card to a Visa Signature. Not sure if there are any other changes or when this might happen, nothing communicated from Synchronicity.
I just noticed the same thing, so I went on chat to ask about the new image. The rep automatically changed my card from the old Visa/non-Luxe card to the new Visa Signature card with upgraded benefits. New features: 2x points on all purchases outside of the brands, 3x points on all purchases outside of the brands in your birthday month, VS concierge, purchase return protection, no foreign transaction fee, exclusive VS event access. Guessing others can make the change now as well!
Wow that actually sounds like a card worth having now... What are the points worth for redemption? I can't find the rewards programs terms online.

It's 500 points = $5 reward, so $100 spent with the brands at the 5x rate earns $5. Outside purchases are 1x, though with the new card it will be 2x. They also have several bonus offers throughout the year for out-of-brand spending, like 3x points on gas, groceries, dining, and Costco purchases right now (at least for me).

I have the regular silver visa card, 2 days ago after my statement cut the black card showed ups, wondering if i'll get this new card ??, look beautiful lol.
Here the promo i got last month:
I was told I would receive a new card next week with the benefits mentioned above. (Sounds like benefits are actually in place on my existing card now).
2% on everything (assuming one can make use of banana dollars) + no foreign transaction fees + Visa Signature make this a very compelling card for those who want to avoid annual fees.
