Department StoreOnline Shopping
Zara is the flagship fast fashion banner of Spanish parent Inditex, with roughly 100 U.S. stores in major markets plus a robust online business at zara.com. Most card issuers code in-store purchases as department store and online orders as online shopping. Zara does not run a branded credit card in the U.S., so a flat-rate online bonus or a rotating department store category is usually the best earn at checkout.
Picks without a tag earn at Zara both in-store and online. Watch for theOnline onlytag — those bonuses only apply on zara.com.
