Online ShoppingSelect Clothing
Rue La La is a members-only flash sale retailer, launching limited-time discounted events on apparel, accessories, home goods, and beauty from both established and boutique brands. Founded in Boston in 2007, it's now part of Rue Gilt Groupe, the same corporate family that also runs Gilt and Shop Premium Outlets. There's no Rue La La co-brand credit card, so the best rewards angle for a flash sale purchase is an online shopping or general apparel category card, or a flat-rate cashback card if the specific category isn't covered.
