Comenity AAA open to new apps

Hex — Sat, 08 Oct 2022 15:03:38 GMT

It looks like this card is open to new apps. I applied and was approved today. I will make a post in the approvals section. I thought I was going to apply for the Travel Advantage Card for 5% off gasoline up to $350 a year but 5% off groceries up to $500 a year seemed like a better deal to me. $100 SUB for $1K spend. I'm half tempted to apply for the Travel one today too. What do you think?

5% on groceries on up to 10k of purchases per year is really good! Do you know if you need to be a AAA member to apply? I tried perusing the fine print but didn't see an obvious mention of that.

@DakotaM

I'm sorry I don't know. I'm a AAA member anyway so I didn't even think of that question. You could call Comenity and ask them. My past experience with their CSRs for my AKC card were always very good.

Appears the only way to get to the application is to have a zip code in the area served by the Northeast AAA Club.

Maybe as other regions sync up their AAA CC programs this may be eventually available for other areas? 🤷‍♂️

For my area, both AAA CCs display, just no 'live' link to apply... yet.

I'd be wary of Comenity CCs from now on after their whole system fiasco over the summer...plus my Zales card STILL hasn't updated since June...

@FinStar , I used this link (in Chrome) https://mwg.aaa.com/credit-and-identity/credit-card

@M_Smart007 - thanks for the link.

Of course, for s&g's I gave it a try, but regardless of which zip code I input (different resident states), it wouldn't let me bypass that initial screen*. But, yeah, I can see in the background where the 'Apply' button seems to be within reach, but decides to tease me instead 😂💀

We're sorry, but the ZIP Code entered is outside the AAA territory this website serves. Please visit your local AAA club.

*ETA - nevermind, I figured out a method to get around it 😁

Does anyone know if these cards (especially the 5% gas one) codes Costco gas as gas or as warehouse?

This is a new lender for AAA cards, no data points yet.

I used the link from @M_Smart007. I'm able to apply from a Vegas suburb, so not just NE zip codes. You wouldn't want to carry a balance on a cash back card anyways, but definitely pay off before statement cut. Comenity still hasn't got their processes in order.

What a terrific card thank you for posting. I am so tempted to apply for the grocery 5% one myself but both are nice cards. I have never been with Comenity before but this looks like a nice card......It would beat my savor 3% and if i cap out at 10K i could use Savor until it resets. Dang it.

Different organization, but we'll give you an 'A' for effort since AAA and AARP bear some resemblance at first glance 😂

I hope all is well in Vegas land.

Really good to see you posting

Take care my friend!

We're all doing well here. Staying busy, and I'm laying off apps for awhile, closed a few that don't work for needs anymore. My SO is happy my credit nerd is on hiatus, but he's first to ask which card should I use? 😂

Hope you are surviving the fires out there this year?

These are both really good cards, but I'm especially intrigued by the version with 5% back on groceries, especially if Walmart isn't excluded (WM usually codes as grocery on Visa unless specifically excluded).

I'm not sure if I want to be a guinea pig on this one, but it definitely has my eye. 🤔
