Recommended Application Time

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.
