Expert review

You’re the biggest Steelers fan on the planet. You curse your enemies with your Terrible Towel, your ketchup’s gotta be Heinz and of course your team has the most Super Bowl rings in NFL history. You know everything about the Steelers, watch the games live and buy your team’s merchandise on the regular.

If that sounds like you, consider scooping up the NFL Extra Points Pittsburgh Steelers credit card. It offers a 20,000-point signup bonus (just spend $500 in the first 90 days). On top of that, you’ll earn 2x points on NFL tickets, as well as on stadium, NFLShop.com and pro shop purchases. And to sweeten the deal, you’ll get 20% off anything you buy at NFLShop.com. If you spend big on your team, the NFL Extra Points Pittsburgh Steelers credit card will reward you for it.
