Does the fee earn out? · how we got this
No annual fee, so every point earned is pure upside. The question is only whether its rates beat the other cards already in your wallet — which depends on your spending, not the card.

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 who doesn't spend at Samsung. Its largest printed rate, 5% on online retail, pays only at Samsung. Anywhere else it earns its base 1%, so the headline number is a loyalty rate rather than a category rate — which is why no ranking on this site counts it.
