Guru’s Wrap-Up

This is probably the best bonus the card has had. It’s worth $200. On top of that you get a good rate of 3X at popular categories such as Gas Stations, Grocery Stores and Restaurants. The Discount Stores category includes a long list of popular stores such as Target, Sam’s Club, Walmart, BJ’s and many more that are listed above. Then there’s 3X points on all Net Purchases Black Friday weekend and Cyber Monday.

Definitely worth a look, as this card is probably one of the best out there for a wide variety of spending. The bank could be sensitive to many inquiries.

Let me know if you have the card or if you have dealt with this bank in the past.
