The Compound Verdict
Fifth Third has been recycling the 1.67% number for a decade across discontinued Real Life Rewards products, and the current Cash/Back card carries the torch. It is a curiosity more than a recommendation: the unrestricted 2% cards beat it, and the bank's own 2% Preferred card is locked behind a six-figure banking relationship.
