Katie's Take

Why this card might (or might not) be right for you.

Show Hide

Generally not a card I recommend just because it only earns cash back – not points, plus it has a $95 annual fee (though it is sometimes waived in year one).

That being said, if you love cash back and want to maximize your first $6,000 at supermarkets, you can't beat 6% cash back! It's also easy to make up the annual fee with the $10/month streaming credit if you use it!
