How you earn
Caps, exclusions, merchant coding, and redemption values can change the real return. Verify issuer terms before applying.
If you carry a balance, compare payoff cost before rewards. Interest can erase rewards quickly.
The $95 annual fee needs to be offset by rewards, credits, or travel value.
