RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Avoids the standard 2.5% foreign transaction fee on all your U.S. dollar purchases, saving you money when shopping cross-border or online.
- Includes a surprisingly robust insurance package for a utility card, featuring Trip Interruption, Baggage Delay/Loss, and Car Rental Collision coverage.
- Allows you to add supplementary cardholders to your account for absolutely $0.
The Trade-offs
- Charges a $39 USD annual fee, meaning you must spend at least $1,560 USD annually just to break even on the foreign exchange savings.
- Does not earn any cash back or travel rewards points on your daily purchases.
- Does not include Travel Medical or Trip Cancellation insurance (these are offered only as paid optional upgrades).
