- +Fee drops to $0 for a huge share of eligible members
- +1.5x floor on non-travel spend
Where it costs you
- −PenFed points redeem below 1 cent in most cases
- −Award chart redemptions are clunky compared with bank portals
- −Honors Advantage needed to unlock the best version
The Compound Verdict
On paper this looks like a $400 travel card for $95, and for Honors Advantage members it is free. The weak link is the points themselves, which redeem soft of a cent. Treat it as a perks card: credit, lounge membership and PreCheck, with rewards as a side dish.
