Is the annual fee worth it?
No annual fee, so everything it earns is kept: about $337 a year on the illustrative household's spending, which puts it number 50 of 59 the no-fee cards in the catalogue. All of them, ranked.
Priced on an illustrative household spending $2,205 a month on a card — the assumption, in full. Credits and perks are not priced: they are worth their face value only if you would have spent that money anyway.
