NFL Extra Points Rewards Credit Card Review

The NFL recently ended its long-time credit card relationship with Bank of America and MBNA. The NFL Extra Points Reward Card will now be issued by Barclays Bank.

The card pays one point per dollar on purchases charged on the card. You earn a 2,000 point bonus on your first purchase or balance transfer.

It's not clear, however, what the points are worth. The card's website says the points are redeemable for NFL merchandise, collectibles, VIP experiences and game tickets.

But it doesn't say how many points you need for any of those. Points expire after four years. There's also a 20 percent discount if you use the card to make purchases on the NFL's website.

As a rewards card, it's hard to recommend this card without knowing what the points are worth. However, the main attraction of team-affiliated credit cards like this one is carrying around a credit card with your favorite team's logo on it. For some people that's good enough.

If you had an NFL card with Bank of America/MBNA, you will not automatically receive a card from Barclays - you'll have to reapply with that bank. Barclays will probably send you a solicitation in the mail. Also, if you had a BofA-issued card, you had to redeem your points by the end of August when that program expired.

Recommendation

It's impossible tell from the card's website what the points are worth. Without more information, I would avoid this card, no matter how much I loved my team.
