How can I get a cash advance with my Boscov's Credit Card?

John Miller, Credit Cards Moderator

@john_miller

Unfortunately, you cannot get a cash advance with your Boscov's Credit Card. This is a store card and it can only be used for purchases at boscovs.com and Boscov's stores.

The fact that Boscov's Credit Card cash advances are not an option might actually be a blessing in disguise. Cash advances are very expensive, due to a cash advance fee and a separate cash advance APR that apply as soon as you withdraw the cash. There may also be...

Why did the Boscov's Credit Card lower my credit limit?

Reply

Christie Matherne, Credit Card Writer

@christie_matherne

Your Boscov's Credit Card credit limit may have been lowered due to late payments, inactivity on your card, or a change in your credit history. Comenity Bank will periodically review how you're managing your current limit and may lower it if they don't think you can afford the full thing.

You can call Comenity Bank at 1(844) 271-2778 to ask about the particular reasons why your credit limit was lowered. You can also learn more about the most...

How much is the Boscov's Credit Card minimum payment?

Reply

Maria Adams, Credit Cards Moderator

@m_adams

The Boscov's Credit Card minimum payment is $30 ($37 if you were charged a late fee) or the past due amount plus 5% of plan balance at the end of billing period rounded up to nearest $1 (minimum $5).

  • Balance below $30: If your statement balance is less than $30 ($37 if you were charged a late fee during the prior six billing periods), the Boscov's Credit Card minimum payment will be equal to the balance.
  • Balance over $30: If your balance is more than $30 (or $37 if you were charged a late fee during the prior six billing periods), the minimum payment is the past due amount plus 5% of plan balance rounded up to nearest $1 (minimum $5).

Your minimum payment may be different if you choose one of the Boscov's Credit Card's financing plans. In any case, you can find how much exactly your minimum payment is on your monthly statement.

Lastly, keep in mind that, if you recently missed a payment, the issuer may add a late fee (up to $41) to your minimum payment.

What's the Boscov's Credit Card 0% APR offer?

Reply

John Miller, Credit Cards Moderator

@john_miller

The Boscov's Credit Card may offer 0% APR promotions on certain purchases. It's important to pay off the entire balance before the promotional rate expires, though. That's because the regular APR might apply retroactively from the purchase date if any balance remains after the 0% APR period ends. This is called deferred interest, and it can be quite costly.

Keep in mind that even though you don't pay interest during 0% APR periods, you still must make...

I can't even make a payment because they have not mailed my card out. It's been way over the ten-day mailing period, and I have called them, but they are not helpful. I don't understand how a company can operate that way. And the fact that you're going to charge the interest rate is not going to happen. I have been trying to make a payment for weeks, but without the card number, I can't.

"I enrolled for credit card automated payments in October 2023. Since then, I have been charged a late interest fee. After numerous phone calls and emails, I received a refund for the first interest charge and an apology letter from Comenity Capital Bank (the credit card bank). However, the problem persists... I continue to incur an interest charge with each new billing cycle. Today, I contacted the Coventry Store Manager, Derek Ally (spelling?), and he offered no assistance to address the issue but related that there are many dissatisfied Boscov's credit card consumers and that Boscov's Corporate Credit Management is aware of the problem.

As of today, January 13, 2024, Comenity Capital Bank does not answer their phone. Instead, Comenity offers a secure messaging system. The first message I sent was rejected by Comenity due to a "glitch" in Comenity's system. I rewrote the message and hit send... same response, "Message rejected due to a glitch."

Come on Boscov's... Do you want to lose customers because you are partnered with a problematic credit card company? I thought Boscov's was one of the few businesses left that still had integrity and knew how to run a business. Don't waste my time with credit card incentives, when in exchange, I have to dispute add on credit card charges every month!!

I did get approved for the card, by my payment was late due to not receiving the bill in mail on time as the post office was late delivering it. They still charged me a late fee. I feel that I should not be charged that as I have no control over the United Postal Service. They also reported that my total credit card maximum amount dropped $50 - This is inaccurate as I was never given the amount that they stated to even start with.

Good % off coupons to use in-store and Reward Point Mailers are a nice bonus. Interest rate keeps increasing and it's already over 35% which is the major downfall

Since Bread has bought Comenity they aren’t reporting each month & it’s affecting credit scores. I have multiple cards with them. It’s extremely upsetting. It’s not been updated since June 2022.
