Store credit cards typically require applicants to have a credit score lower than those required for higher end rewards cards. The minimum required FICO score is usually between 660 and 680 in order to qualify for a store credit card, although some consumers are able to get approved with lower scores. However, you may want to consider applying for a general rewards credit card instead. Not only could you get a low promotional APR, but you can also earn cashback or rewards points that that will further reduce the cost of the purchase. In addition, a general rewards credit card can be used at any store, allow you to earn rewards on all purchases.
