No, the Milestone Credit Card does not offer rewards. Its main purpose is to help people with bad credit rebuild their credit standing. For example, people with negatives like a bankruptcy on their credit report might find the Milestone Credit Card worth applying for. It doesn’t have a minimum deposit requirement, either. So, emergency financing is accessible, but you’ll have to keep the card’s 24.9% APR in mind.

Alternative Credit Cards Options

People with bad credit or no credit who are looking for rewards will have to consider other options. The Credit One Bank® Platinum Visa® for Rebuilding Credit is one possibility. It offers 1% cash back on gas and grocery purchases, as well as 1% back on mobile phone, internet, cable and satellite TV services.

Alternatively, you should consider the Bank of America® Customized Cash Rewards Secured Credit Card. This card offers 3% cash back in a category of your choice, 2% back at grocery stores and wholesale clubs (up to $2,500 spent quarterly in the 3% and 2% categories combined), and 1% back on all other purchases. But it requires a refundable security deposit of at least $200 to open the account, unlike the Milestone Credit Card.
