IKEA Credit Card: Complete 2026 Guide (Visa vs. Store Card)

ClearValue Lending··6 min read

TL;DR

IKEA offers two Comenity Capital Bank-issued cards: the general-purpose IKEA Visa and an IKEA-only store card. Both earn 5% back in rewards on IKEA purchases — including IKEA installation and TaskRabbit assembly services — issued as $15 Reward Certificates for every $15 earned. The Visa version adds 3% back on dining, grocery, and utility purchases everywhere Visa is accepted. Neither version charges an annual fee, and the purchase APR for new accounts is 21.99% — notably lower than most co-branded store cards. Terms verified against Comenity's published disclosures, 2026.

IKEA Visa version only — general-purpose card

IKEA runs its credit-card program through Comenity Capital Bank, offering two versions: a general-purpose IKEA Visa and an IKEA-only store card. Both share the headline benefit — 5% back on IKEA purchases, including installation services and TaskRabbit assembly booked through IKEA — with no annual fee on either.

Visa vs. store card

The IKEA Visa works anywhere Visa is accepted and adds 3% back on dining, grocery, and utility purchases (1% on everything else outside those categories), which makes it a reasonable everyday card if you're already earning the IKEA rate. The store-card version is IKEA-only — simpler, but no rewards value outside IKEA.

The APR is genuinely lower than peers

At 21.99% for new accounts, the IKEA card's purchase APR undercuts most co-branded store cards, many of which run 28-36%. That doesn't make it a card to carry a balance on by design, but it's a meaningfully smaller penalty if you occasionally do.

Rewards cover more than furniture

The 5% rate applying to IKEA installation and TaskRabbit assembly (not just furniture and home-goods purchases) is a genuinely useful detail for anyone furnishing a home — those services can be a real chunk of an IKEA project's total cost.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the IKEA Visa and the IKEA store card?+

The IKEA Visa is a general-purpose card usable anywhere Visa is accepted, earning 5% back at IKEA plus 3% back on dining, grocery, and utility purchases. The IKEA store card (sometimes called IKEA Projekt) is usable at IKEA only. Both share the same 5% IKEA rewards rate and $0 annual fee.

Does the IKEA card earn rewards on assembly services?+

Yes — the 5% rewards rate applies to IKEA installation services and TaskRabbit assembly booked through IKEA, not just furniture and home-goods purchases, per Comenity's published rewards terms.

How do IKEA Reward Certificates work?+

Rewards accumulate as a percentage of spend and convert into $15 IKEA Reward Certificates once you cross each $15 threshold, issued with your billing statement. Certificates are redeemable at IKEA; check comenity.net/ikeavisa for current expiration terms.

Is ClearValue Lending a bank or card issuer?+

No. ClearValue Lending is not a bank, card issuer, lender, or financial advisor. This review presents publicly available editorial information about the IKEA Visa and IKEA store credit cards. Both cards are issued by Comenity Capital Bank. Rates, fees, and terms are determined solely by the issuer and may change — verify current terms directly with the issuer before applying.
