The break-even math
| Annual fee | $95 |
| Printed statement credits | $0 |
| Net cost to earn back | $95 |
| Break-even spend | $9,500/yr |
Subtract the $0 of printed statement credits from the $95 fee and $95 is left to earn back through rewards. At its top rate — 1x base, valuing U.S. Bank points at 1.00¢ — you'd need about $9,500 of everyday spending a year just to break even.
The verdict
A close call. $9,500 of category spending isn't a stretch for many households, so this card earns out for steady spenders in that category — and loses to a no-fee card for everyone below that line.
