Overall

The Bottom-Line

A good cash back card if you use it for everyday purchases and will charge in excess of $2,500 or if you have credit card balances to transfer or need immediate cash.

The Good

0% interest is available for first 12 billing cycles. Rewards are paid for every purchase and there’s no limit to the rewards you can earn.

The Not So Good

Cash back is paid only in increments of $2,500. Lower amounts won’t qualify for the cash back. The 0% introductory APR applies only to balances and cash advances made within first 45 days. It does not apply to purchases.
