The Compound Verdict
The hybrid structure is the point: balances convert to fixed installments, which protects people who would otherwise revolve at 30% indefinitely. If you always pay in full, a normal 2% card beats it. If you sometimes carry a balance, the forced payoff discipline here is genuinely worth more than the half point you give up.
