Our Verdict
This is the highest earning card on restaurant purchases. You can also keep it long term due to the fact it has no annual fee. If you max out the rides then the bonus is worth up to $300, but I suspect most people wouldn’t be completing 10 rides of $20+ in August without some cheaper rides being thrown in. Still an excellent offer on this card if you can maximize it or get close and can take advantage of the 4% on restaurants. Shame the offer is targeted. As always if you have any questions about Barclays credit cards, read this post first.
