Earning Rates

  • 2xAll qualifying purchases

Credits

No statement credits, this card wins on earn rates, not coupons.

Benefits

  • No foreign transaction fee on a flat 2% card, the killer combo
  • Membership open to everyone via American Consumer Council
  • Credit lines start at $5,000 with Visa Signature benefits

Why it earns its spot

  • +The rare 2% card you can take abroad for free
  • +Welcome bonus on a flat-rate card
  • +Open membership despite the State Department name

Where it costs you

  • Credit union application process takes patience
  • $3,000 bonus spend is steep for a $200 payout

The Compound Verdict

The quiet champion of flat-rate cash back. Citi and Wells charge 3% abroad on their 2% cards; this one charges nothing, pays a real bonus, and lets anyone in through a consumer council membership. The clunky credit union onboarding is the only tax.
