Is this card right for you?

✓ Best for

people who spend heavily on gas and groceries.

⚠ Think twice if

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

Earning rates

5% cash back on gas and military-base purchases (first $3,000 per year combined), then 1%
2% cash back at grocery stores (first $3,000 per year), then 1%
1% cash back on all other purchases

Best ways to earn & redeem

Put your gas and groceries spending on this card to earn at its highest rates, and let a different card handle the categories it does not bonus. Its gas rate is among the stronger ones you will find in that category.

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 annual fee and no foreign transaction fee
Requires USAA membership (military affiliation)
