Welcome Offer
Is the Old Navy Encore Mastercard right for you?
The Old Navy Encore Mastercard is a no-annual-fee cash-back card from Barclays. Its strongest everyday earning is 5% on Old Navy and Gap Inc. brands, with 1% on most other purchases. With no fee, the question is simply whether 5% on Old Navy and Gap Inc. brands beats what your current card earns there.
Editor's note
This is the Old Navy Encore Mastercard. Its value is concentrated at Old Navy and Gap Inc. brands (5 points per $1) and other eligible apparel retailers (3 points per $1); everything else earns 1 point. The welcome offer is 30% off a first Old Navy purchase rather than a cash bonus, so it suits regular Old Navy and Gap shoppers better than it works as a primary card.
