Card Designs
The card comes with five different designs to choose from:
Our Verdict
3% cash back on dining is as good as it gets (apart from Discover it & Chase Freedom with their rotating 5% categories), the entertainment categories could be useful as well but you’re only get 1% more than a standard 2% card so nothing that crazy. The fact that the sign up bonus is only $25 really kills this card for me. You’d need to spend $10,000 on the 3% categories to receive $300 in cash back and if you used a 2% card you’d be getting $200 cash back instead, so you’re probably better off getting a different card with a high cash back bonus instead.

Per their email, “Important Changes to your Marvel Mastercard Program”: “We regret to inform you that the Marvel Mastercard credit card program will be discontinued. You can continue to make purchases using the card until 5/27/2021. Outstanding cashback on purchases will be paid via a statement credit within two billing cycles.*”
RIP 3% on dining and entertainment.
I just got a snail mail offer for this card for a $25 bonus on the first purchase and $50 more after spending $500 in the first 3 months. It came with an authorization code so it’s targeted.

Amy (@guest_454917) August 7, 2017 22:28I received a pre-approved offer that includes 2 free tickets to marvel live with it. I am debating as my son would love to see Marvel live again. I do not like Syncrony bank from my issues with them in the past, but thought for an occasional use card it might be ok.
Syed (@guest_388516) April 12, 2017 16:34Beware of the PRE-APPROVED letter, I responded to it, yet got rejected, I make more than 100K still rejected. My last business with Syncrony in my life.
Austin (@guest_405352) May 12, 2017 00:11How many new accounts have you opened lately? What’s your credit utilization? Many factors go into being approved for a credit card besides income. If your credit report has changed dramatically from when you were screened and deemed pre-approved you can still be considered too risky of a applicant.
Jake Lenihan (@guest_360566) February 26, 2017 12:47As one of the above commenters pointed out, 3% is better than 2%, so I got this card hoping to put my HBO now, Netflix and Spotify monthly payments on it, where they had previously been on my Fidelity 2% cash back Visa.
Neither Netflix NOR Spotify triggered the 3% cashback. I have not confirmed the HBO now (via google play store) yet, though I suspect it will not.
I basically now just use this card at movie theaters. Disappointing.
forznoles (@guest_339154) January 15, 2017 14:49Just got the card – initially given as a $1,000 credit limit, which I asked for an increase. Increase declined due to lack of use, but I just put two charges on it, and went back onto their website and my credit limit is now $20,000. FICO about 830. I will update when I get my first statement to see how the statement credit works – I plan on using it as primarily a dining/entertainment card for the 3% back – I have a 3% back gas card (Bank Americard) and 2% back everything-else card (Citi Double Cash). I hope this one works out for extra cash back on the 3% categories.
J. Burnside (@guest_318705) November 23, 2016 16:26PLEASE READ. Something is VERY WRONG with the support team behind this card. I obtained this card because I am an avid fan of Marvel and I thought it would be great to have. I applied for and received the card specifically to use on a $2700 car repair. On November 22nd, Wife and I are at the dealership attempting to use the card to pay for the repair. It did not work and was declined. I knew immediately it had to do with the amount being charged. While at the dealership I called the customer service number on the card. After 15 frustrating minutes of trying to work through the automated system, I finally reached Carlos in the Customer Service Department. He stated the card was flagged for possible fraud. At his request, I provided all my phone numbers, mother’s maiden name and social security #. He claimed he could not verify my identity. He said he would need to call my phone and leave a message with a code and I was to call back with that code and provide it to the next Customer Service Rep. I asked him point blank, will any customer service rep be able to help me, or do I need to get back in touch directly with you. No, anyone can help you he stated. So we get his message, spend another frustrating 15 minutes working through the automated system and finally get to Jennifer in Customer Service. She tells me that Carlos was wrong. She cannot work with the code he provided so I go through all of the same with her. I give her all of the same info, and she cannot verify identity. I ask her why, she has no idea. This makes no sense at all to us. So we are on hold for 20 MINUTES while she talks with a manager. She comes back and says she needs to call our phone and provide a code and we need to give that code to her. Except we kept her on a Cell this time. We get the code, give it to her, she says we are good to go, we are verified. Dealership runs card, declined. She says she doesn’t know what is going on. On hold again for 10 minutes. She comes back and tells me Manager has corrected problem, you are good to use the card. Dealership runs card, declines again. She tells me she has no idea why. We are on hold again. This is not a problem with the Dealership’s CC machine as they are running other customer cards without issue. Dealership is closing and we wife is in tears at this point. She comes back to the phone and tells me there is nothing they can do, they have to MAIL ME a code and I will get it in 7-10 business days. At this point, I went off. Why in the hell can you not verify who I am in this … Read more »
