Fee Reality
What the credits on this card are actually worth
This card advertises $0 in annual credits. Friction-scored for enrollment, cadence, merchant lock, and redemption channel, we estimate a typical cardholder realizes about $0 (0%) of that value against a $150 annual fee.
Net estimated cost after credits: $150/yr
Our verdict: consider downgrading or canceling — realized value falls well short of the fee.
