Summary
This card was fantastic in the past when it can earn unlimited 5% cashback twice a year. But now, you can only earn 5% cashback for the first $5000 spending per event (A max of $500 per year). There are a lot of disadvantages, so basically I would not recommend that you apply for it any more.
