You're right, J.Crew credit card has a high regular APR. In addition, you can use this card only at J.Crew store. If you don't want to apply for their card, you can apply for a regular rewards card that offers a 0% intro APR on purchases and cash back. A good example is the Discover it® Cash Back credit card that allows you to earn up to 5% cash back on rotating category purchases, up to the quarterly maximum when you activate, and an unlimited 1% cash back on all other purchases. Discover will also match all the cash back you've earned at the end of your first year, automatically (if you are a new cardmember).
