Issuer Rules

Rules: Eligibility for the West Elm credit card in 2026 requires applicants to be 18 years or older (19 in AL/NE, 21 in PR), possess a valid U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), maintain a valid U.S. mailing address, and demonstrate a verifiable income source, all subject to BreadFinance's credit approval standards. The typical bonus structure includes an initial sign-up discount (e.g., 10-20% off the first qualifying purchase) and ongoing rewards, such as 5% back in rewards on purchases made at West Elm and its affiliated brands (e.g., Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma), usually issued as reward certificates.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 7

Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months (for any hypothetical spend-based bonus; initial discounts are often immediate)

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending (if applicable to reward structure), high cumulative credit limit across multiple BreadFinance accounts, defaulting on any BreadFinance-issued credit product, excessive credit-seeking behavior (especially with BreadFinance), high credit utilization, missed or late payments, suspicious activity inconsistent with typical spending patterns, bankruptcy, or significant negative changes in credit profile.
