Our Verdict
This also has no lifetime language as well, meaning you can get the card/bonus even if you’ve held the card before. We’ve seen massive targeted offers of 260,000 or 230,000, but for the regular folk 150,000 or 160,000 or 170,000 have been the best offers available. Very good deal if you’re eligible.
