Update 3/27/23: Looks like the card will be shutting down:
As of April 27, 2023, the Une Femme card program will be discontinued and you will not be able to use your Une Femme Credit Card to make purchases
Update: Offer no longer available.
The Une Femme credit card is advertised as a credit card built by women for women. The card basics are as follows:
- $500 sign up bonus when you make your first qualifying purchase using your Une Femme Credit Card
- $99 annual fee waived first year
- Card earns at the following rates:
- 3X points for every qualifying purchase made at Une Femme
- 2X points on charitable donations, dining, ride sharing and beauty-related qualifying purchases.
- 1X points on all other purchases
- Une Femme Credit Card is issued by Lewis & Clark Bank
Our Verdict
It’s difficult to see this sign up bonus being sustainable unless they are extremely strict on approvals. I imagine we might see an initial flood of approved applications followed by a back track. Goodluck to anybody that goes for this bonus.
Hat tip to reader Matt I
Called about not receiving my bonus. (Normally I would NEVER CALL THE BANK but since they’re closing down I figured there’s no harm)
The rep said I met the requirements but told me that they can’t “make the account negative”, and instructed me to spend $500 on the card, after which my account will be credited with the bonus and back to zero balance.
A little weird but the rep sounded confident, as if she had told this to many others as well. I shall report back if this works or not.
Well, solves the issue of having to cancel the card. I wonder what discussion happened internally about this product launch, short ride and closure.
I cannot believe I was part of this. The fact that this bonus actually paid out, the fact that it was only open to applications for like an hour, getting the bonus immediately, using the bonus before login access expired; just everything about it – I’m framing this card in my office.
NEVER going to be a bonus like this, again. I didn’t think it would fail so quickly.
Divvy is similar.
Signed up for Divvy on a whim. Got approved. For some strange reason they gave me a $200 referral visa GC, too. Thank you.
Got an email that looks like they are shutting down:
Thank you for being a valued Une Femme cardholder. As of April 27, 2023, the Une Femme card program will be discontinued and you will not be able to use your Une Femme Credit Card to make purchases.
Can anyone login to their account? Shows an error 500 on me end.
I can’t 🙁
Same here. Luckily it seems they will honor the $500 welcome bonus.
Try clearing your cache. That fixed it for me.
Received the remaining credit today. Best bonus of the year!!!
Complete success story including using up the rewards.
My bonus posted today too. I have to admit I was very skeptical in the beginning. The Une Femme team did a great job with customer service. In particularly Diana and Maria. They deserve the recognition.
This one ranks up there and I’m glad I was apart of it.
Confirming the bonus. Received the complete $500 on all of my purchases today.
My bonus came thru today as well. I had made small purchases soon after card arrival but paid them off two days after they posted. Those purchases did not receive statement credits. I would recommend allowing a week after charges post for bonus adjustments to hit.
‘‘Twas a bit of a risky app but I’m glad I jumped it quick out the gate.
Tips fedora, m’Docs.
It’s obvious that they batch process the bonus manually.
Did anybody receive the credit this week? The $5 charge on 1/24 never got credit. A $180 charge on 2/19. Still nothing. Maybe I should contact them.
