Our Verdict
The only way this card would be useful is if points were worth more than 1¢ a piece and I just don’t see that being the case here. Keep in mind some cards offer 2%+ cash back on ALL purchases not just specific categories. There are also cards that offer bonuses in the specific 2x earning categories this card offers:
Other cards offer massive sign up bonuses. I can’t see any reason why you would want to sign up for this card.
