RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Excellent 3% cash back rate on dining and gas (at Costco stations), with no annual fee for members.
- Conveniently functions as both your payment card and your Costco membership card.
- Includes $1,000 Mobile Device Insurance, a premium feature rarely found on no-fee retail cards.
The Trade-offs
- Cash back is only distributed once a year (January) as a Costco gift certificate, which limits how you can use your rewards.
- Spending inside Costco warehouses only earns 1% cash back, which is lower than some other premium mastercards.
- Does not include any travel medical or car rental insurance coverage.
