Our Verdict
This card was only recently launched in October of last year (our full review can be found here) and the standard sign up bonus is $100. Definitely think this $350 deal is worth doing if you’re targeted for it as it’s one of the better cash sign up bonuses. Not really that useful long term due to the low earning rates and the fact you can earn at higher rates with other cards on restaurants, gas, grocery, drugstore and all other purchases.
