How you earn

Eligible purchases
3% cash back

Caps, exclusions, merchant coding, and redemption values can change the real return. Verify issuer terms before applying.

APR reality check

If you carry a balance, compare payoff cost before rewards. Interest can erase rewards quickly.

Main catch

The real value depends on category rules, caps, APR behavior, and whether you carry a balance.
