Does the fee earn out? · how we got this
The $150 fee minus $30 in printed credits leaves $120/yr to earn back through rewards — roughly $5,455 of spending at the base rate (valuing Barclays points at the same mid-range value the optimizer uses). Whether that clears depends on your actual spending.

Who this card is not for
Every point below is a term the issuer prints, read off this card's own row in our database — not an opinion about the card. One thing on this card rules out a kind of spender:
- Anyone applying today. The issuer no longer opens this card to new applicants. It stays published because people still hold it, not because it can be applied for.
