Review

Good choice for those with very good credit who want to transfer a balance. Intro period is 12 or 3 months, determined by your application and credit history. 3% balance transfer fee ($5 min., $75 max.). If you have average credit and qualify for the standard pricing, the intro period is only 3 months. In the rewards program, earn 1 point per $1 spent. Redeem points for cash back, travel, merchandise, and gift cards. Earn up to 60,000 points per year; points expire in 5 years. The card has a reasonable interest rate and no annual fee. The card does have a high APR for cash advances and a high default rate. 3% international transaction fee. Benefits include insurance for auto rental, travel accident insurance, and a year-end summary of transactions. Last Modified Date: 8/19/2008 12:00:00 AM
