What's the Catch
Where this card's value can evaporate in practice.
- 28.99% maximum APR
If you carry a balance, the interest cost dwarfs the rewards. A $5,000 revolving balance at 28.99% costs $1450/yr, more than any cashback rate on the card. When a balance is carried, the interest line dominates the math and the rewards rate has little effect on the result.
