RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Offers a fantastic 4% return on travel purchases and 3% on groceries and gas.
- Includes 4 complimentary airport lounge visits per year, which offsets the annual fee for frequent flyers.
- The 40,000-point welcome bonus is exceptionally easy to earn, requiring only a single purchase.
The Trade-offs
- Unlike many competitors, dining and restaurants do not earn bonus points and default to the 1% base rate.
- The $50,000 spending cap on accelerated categories is shared across all bonus tiers.
