What It Earns

Net annual value (rewards + credits at typical usage, minus the fee) at three reference spending profiles. A credit counts only when the profile spends in its category, so a household with no travel spend gets no travel credit. Signup bonuses excluded.

Point value: 1.0 cents per point

The Fine Print That Changes the Math

4x on dining and fast food (first $2,000 per quarter combined, then 1x), 2x on grocery, gas/EV charging and streaming, 1x on everything else including travel. Grocery and gas exclude supercenters and wholesale clubs. A $15 annual streaming credit after 11 consecutive months of streaming purchases. Points are worth 1 cent when deposited to a U.S. Bank account; other redemptions can be worth less.

  • Dining: bonus rate capped at $8,000 of spend per year (4x on the first $2,000 per quarter of restaurant, fast-food and bar purchases combined, then 1x. Fast Food shares this cap, which per-category caps cannot express.)
