Recommended Application Time
- 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
The 6% cashback ability on certain merchants is nice. But it has a quarterly limit of $1,500. If this card is a no annual fee card then it would be a very strong product. But with $95 annual fee, together with its rather small quarterly limit, it is not so great.
