Ikea Credit Card: Great Bonus Categories
There is a new reward credit card on the market and it’s an Ikea co-branded Visa. The IKEA Visa Credit Card is issued by Comenity Bank and seems pretty interesting on first impressions alone. Rewards are earned in the forom of certificates to Ikea and there is no annual fee. If you like Ikea and have one close by, you should take a look. For complete details, here’s the official page.

Analysis
I happen to love Ikea because I kind of like to put stuff together (okay, I actually love it). Another company that I love is Taskrabbit and 5% back is a great return. If you know you’re going to use it, seems like a nice benefit. Also, the bonus categories are really good for a no fee card, unlimited 3% on dining, groceries and utilites. Although, I’m not quite sure what utilities is and it’s not explained in details.
One thing that caught my eye about this card is the free shipping on in-store purchases, but it says through August 2018. If there’s no free shipping, I’m unlikely to find the card worth my time since I can always knock a few dollars off Ikea purchases with discount gift cards. Since Comenity is the issuer, the Ikea Visa could certainly be a long term keeper for all the Ikea shoppers out there.

Sounds like most likely not.
I assume you can mix certificates with CC purchase. I am surprised to not see a max distance for free delivery.
