Renewal math
Should you keep this card?
The welcome offer only lands once, and the waived first-year fee bills for real at renewal — so the keep-or-cancel question is whether the $139 fee still pays for itself on earn alone. Enter your monthly spend to see the recurring math.
~$366/year in rewards at this spend − $139 fee = $227/year
The fee pays for itself at this spend — keeping it is defensibleAt this spending mix, the card breaks even around $520/month on the card. Below that, the fee stops earning its keep.
Estimates price your spend at the card’s published earn rates and our Points Standard Index valuations; they ignore category earn caps and any retention offer the issuer might make if you call. Perks you actually use — insurance, lounge visits — are value on top of this math, so weigh them before cancelling.
