One of the best benefits of the Banana Republic Luxe Card is the fact that you earn 5 points per dollar spent at Banana Republic and Gap Family stores (Gap, Old Navy, Athleta, Piperlime). The points are redeemable for Banana Republic Rewards at 1,000 points = $10 rewards certificate. Every time your account accumulates 1,000 points, the points are converted into a rewards card that is issued to you either by mail (if you receive your statements by mail, or is available online if you receive paperless statements.

Banana Republic Rewards Card Extension
Keep in mind that returning an item that was purchased with a Banana Republic rewards card can be a good strategy to extend the life of your rewards. Since a rewards certificate expires after 6 months from date of issue, you could simply purchase an item using the rewards card, then return it and dollar value of the points would get put back into your account. Since points don’t expire for 24 months from date of issue, you can then earn another rewards card once you hit 1,000 points.
I’m not sure if I understand if my rewards certificate had expired 2 weeks ago. I was hoping you could put extension since we were and are dealing with a health crisis. Would you please get back to me so I can go shopping in hopes that I may apply this to purchases.
I would suggest calling Banana Republic at 888-277-8953 and requesting that the extend/reissue the expired certificate. I am willing to bet that they will extend it for at least another 30 days. Good luck!
