Packaged Facts’ survey data from February/March 2021 show that 55% of adults have private-label credit cards, with 44% (or 80% of cardholders) having used them in the last 30 days.

Among credit cardholders overall, therefore, three-fourths have private-label credit cards. The most widely held private-label credit cards by retailer type—with each of these card types attracting roughly half of private-label cardholders overall—are department stores (28% of adults), discount stores (27%), and club stores (25%), followed clothing stores or pure-play Internet stores such as Amazon (each at 24%).

For more insights into this dynamic market, see the comprehensive new report by Packaged Facts titled Private Label Credit Cards in the U.S., 12th Edition, which covers market size and growth, top private-label credit card issuers, selected private-label credit card and loyalty programs, and private label usage trends.  

Report Methodology

The information contained in this report was obtained from primary and secondary research. Primary research included a Packaged Facts February/March 2021 national consumer survey with a sample of 2,000 U.S. adults (age 18+), with the sample in aggregate being census representative on the primary demographic measures of age, gender, geographic region, race/ethnicity, and household income. The discussion of store card usage patterns and demographics also draws on Fall 2020 release MRI National Consumer Study data, with field dates through November 2020.

Market estimates draw on multiple sources, including:

  • company annual and quarterly filings
  • FDIC Reports of Condition and Income (also known as Call Report data)

  • Federal Reserve data
