Best credit card to use at Five Below.
Department Store
Five Below is a discount retailer with more than 1,700 stores across the U.S., built around items priced at $5 or less, plus a Five Beyond section with goods up to $25. The merchandise mix skews toward tweens and teens (candy, tech accessories, beauty, hobby, seasonal). Stores typically code as a discount or department store for credit card networks, so a department-store category bonus card can earn its multiplier here. Five Below does not issue its own credit card, so a general 2-5% category card is the cleanest play.
