Best credit card to use at World Market.

Home ImprovementOnline Shopping

World Market, formerly Cost Plus World Market, sells globally sourced furniture, rugs, international foods, and wine across roughly 240 U.S. stores. Most credit cards code these purchases as general retail or department store spending rather than a dedicated home category, so shoppers usually fall back on flat-rate cards like the Citi Double Cash or Wells Fargo Active Cash.

Cards that treat online shopping as a rotating or selectable category, including Chase Freedom Flex and U.S. Bank Cash+, can pay better when ordering rugs or furniture from worldmarket.com. The store also runs a free loyalty program with member coupons that stack with credit card rewards on alcohol and seasonal decor runs.
