Is this card right for you?

✓ Best for

people who spend heavily on travel and dining and want travel rewards they can grow.

⚠ Think twice if

your spending is spread evenly, where a flat-rate card would likely earn you more.

Earning rates

3% cash back on airfare, hotel stays, and car rentals, booked anywhere
2% cash back on restaurants, including takeout and delivery
1% cash back on all other purchases
$100 cash back after $500 in purchases in the first 90 days
No caps on cash back, and rewards do not expire while the account is open
0% intro APR on balance transfers for 15 months (transfers made within 45 days)

Best ways to earn & redeem

Put your travel and dining spending on this card to earn at its highest rates, and let a different card handle the categories it does not bonus.

When you cash in, take the rewards as cash back or a statement credit, worth a flat 1 cent each. We value every point at a flat 1 cent, so treat any transfer upside as a bonus rather than the baseline — see what your points are really worth.

Features & benefits

No foreign transaction fees
AARP membership is not required to apply
No annual fee
