The Compound Verdict
If you pay in full monthly this card offers you nothing. If you ever revolve, it is one of the best cards in America: a top-tier rate around 13% with no balance transfer fee makes it the cheapest place to park debt without teaser-rate games. The famous DCU trick of joining via a $10 nonprofit donation works from any state.
