Bottom line

If you frequently shop at L.L. Bean, getting the cobranded L.L. Bean Mastercard could be worthwhile. You get to earn accelerated Bean Bucks on your L.L. Bean, gas and restaurant purchases, which you can use for savings on purchases at the store.

However, if you prefer a more robust rewards structure or simply an intro APR period on balance transfers and purchases, compare other credit cards until you find the right fit for your financial needs.

Expert review

The L.L. Bean Mastercard is designed for loyal L.L. Bean shoppers who want to earn rewards on their store purchases. What’s more, you earn accelerated rewards on gas and restaurants, and you can use the card wherever Mastercard is accepted.

However, you can only redeem rewards for purchases made at the L.L. Bean store.

      Hello Michelle,

      Thank you for your comment.

      The L.L.Bean Mastercard is one of the retail store cards as far as rewards are concerned. You can use it anywhere, it provides rewards and cost-saving benefits at L.L.Bean, and you’ll even get 2% back at gas stations and restaurants and 4% cash back at L.L.Bean stores.

      Regards,
      Jhezelyn
