Shoppers who frequent Gap or any of its sister stores, including Old Navy, Banana Republic and Athleta, can get extra time to pay for their purchases and reap rewards by using the GapCard or Gap Visa credit card issued by Synchrony Bank. Although both cards offer rewards, the GapCard is only valid at Gap, whereas the Visa-branded card offers five times the rewards for items bought at any of the Gap-affiliated stores, plus one point everywhere else. And when you hit 500 points with either card, you’ll receive a $5 reward that you can use toward a future Gap purchase.
