Container Store credit card will let you buy stuff to organize stuff you bought with other credit cards

Great news, America! The Container Store credit card is coming soon:

Synchrony Financial, a premier consumer financial services company with 80 years of retail heritage, and The Container Store, the nation’s originator and leading retailer of storage and organization products, today announced a new, multi-year agreement to offer a private label credit card program for customers. The card will be available for use in the retailer’s stores and online and is scheduled to launch in the Spring of 2016.

I was hoping this would be a rewards card, but the press release makes it sound more like a financing vehicle:

The Container Store Credit Card will provide financing options for the purchase of more than 10,000 products, customized services and organization solutions such as custom closets, including its new, luxury TCS Closets® collection and its popular elfa® closet system. Qualifying cardholders will enjoy special financing offers and online and mobile account management.

I’ve always found The Container Store to be fascinating. After buying too much stuff, you go there to buy more stuff in which to put other stuff. The credit card angle makes it even better for people lacking self-control: after going into debt to buy stuff, they can go into additional debt to buy more stuff in which to store the other stuff they didn’t really need but can’t get rid of.

Sadly, there is not yet a place to buy stuff in which to store the stuff-containing stuff you bought at The Container Store, as that would just be too meta. As for the rest of us, let’s hope this turns out to be a 5% rewards card and that The Container Store starts selling gift cards.

(By the way, do they sell containers for old credit cards? I have a lot of of those.)
