Best credit card to use at Belk.

Department Store

Belk is a Southeast U.S. department store chain with about 290 locations across 16 states, anchored in the Carolinas. The merchandise mix is comparable to a regional Macy's: apparel, cosmetics, accessories, and home goods, with a focus on national and private-label brands. Belk codes as a department store, so a department-store category bonus card earns its full rate. The Belk Rewards Mastercard (issued by Synchrony) layers store-specific Belk Rewards points on top, with extra earn during promotional events.
