  3. 0% intro APR for 24 months.
  4. No annual fee.

Disadvantages

  1. No welcome offer.
  2. It has foreign transaction fee, so it's not a good choice outside the US.

Recommended Application Time

  1. We recommend you apply for this card after you have a credit history of at least two years and you are very comfortable with the credit card game.

Summary

This card has a rather unique design, somewhat like a “lite version” of the BBR, offering a small cash bonus each year. However, the annual bonus isn’t very high, so for most readers of this site, it may not be as worthwhile as getting a card with a higher welcome offer.
