Our Verdict
Lots of people have mentioned this, finally got around to posting this now. It’s obviously an easy offer to take advantage of. Beyond the initial 3 x $50 spend, there’s not much reason to use the card for ordinary purchases since the PPBDC only earns 1% back on purchases. It does not earn anything on PIN-based purchases, so only really makes sense to use it for non-PIN purchases which don’t allow credit card, e.g. it might be possible to use to pay taxes at the lower debit card fee.
