Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Shutdown Risk Triggers
Extended account inactivity, sudden or unusual spending spikes, high overall credit utilization across all Comenity-issued accounts, too many newly opened accounts or recent hard inquiries flagged at the time of a periodic credit review, high debt-to-income ratio identified during issuer-initiated credit re-pull
International Friendly
May have limitations for international use.
Additional Issuer Rules
The Zales Credit Card is issued by Comenity Capital Bank and functions as a closed-loop private label store card with no publicly documented bonus-restriction rules equivalent to Chase 5/24 or Amex once-per-lifetime policies. Comenity Capital Bank does not enforce a widely published maximum-cards-per-issuer rule, though community data points indicate that having too many recently opened accounts or high overall utilization across Comenity cards can trigger adverse action or denial. The card carries no transferable sign-up bonus — its new-cardholder offer is a one-time $50 off a $250+ purchase, and there is no documented cooldown period before re-applying after closure.
Military & Hardship
MLA Compliant
Complies with the Military Lending Act (36% APR cap for active duty servicemembers).
SCRA Benefits
Interest rate on pre-service balances capped at 6% APR during active duty, per federal SCRA requirements. No additional benefits beyond the statutory minimum are publicly disclosed by Comenity Capital Bank for this card.
