The card can also be used to buy merchandise from major retailers through the online site. More points are earned when you do. Retailers include department stores, restaurants, auto repair shops, and stores such as:

Keep Track of Rewards Through Your Mobile Device

Every cardholder can access their account and view information about it. A downloadable app lets you keep track of points earned and current point value through your mobile device such as iPads, iPhones, iTouch, or Android. With your mobile device, you are also able to scan a UPC code and find out if the item is available through the online store. This can help you earn even more points.
