Does the fee earn out? · how we got this
The printed statement credits ($2,200/yr) cover the $795 fee on paper — if you'd spend that way anyway. Credits you have to remember, enroll in, or change behavior for are worth less than face value. Our app tracks each one against your actual charges.

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. two things on this card rule out a kind of spender:
- Anyone who doesn't spend at the issuer's travel portal. Its largest printed rate, 8x on issuer travel portal, pays only at the issuer's travel portal. Elsewhere in that category the card earns 8x, so the headline number is a loyalty rate rather than a category rate — which is why no ranking on this site counts it.
- Anyone who won't work the statement credits. The $795 fee is argued for by $2,200 of printed credits, spread across 9 separate credits, 2 of them monthly or quarterly — an unused month is gone, not banked, and 1 that must be enrolled in before it pays. Each one only pays if you were going to spend that way anyway; ignore them and the whole $795 has to come back through earn rates instead.
