Standard Score breakdown
PassSix weighted components, each rated 0–10. “Contributes” is the rating × weight — add all six and you get a raw 3.93/10, published as 3.9/10.
Evidence behind each input
The facts are structured; the rating remains an editorial judgment. Open any component to audit what was considered without mistaking the evidence for an automatic formula.
First-year value3.0/10
The anchor fixes the starting point; the 1.0-point reduction is within the published maximum and makes the reachability judgment visible.
- $85 first-year net value maps to a 4.0/10 baseline.
- Published first-year input: 3.0/10 (-1.0 versus baseline).
Ongoing value4.0/10
This input judges recurring earn and cash-like credits after the annual fee; the welcome offer and non-cash perks are excluded.
- No annual fee.
- Published earn: 3% — Walmart — in-store, walmart.ca, and Walmart Marketplace; 1% — Everything else.
- No cap is stated in the structured earn rows.
Flexibility3.5/10
This input judges how easily Walmart Reward Dollars can become useful value without forcing one narrow redemption path.
- Reward currency: Walmart Reward Dollars.
- Constraint: Rewards are locked to Walmart; no travel insurance
Perk usability4.0/10
This input credits non-cash benefits at realistic use, separate from cash-like credits already counted in ongoing value.
- No airport lounge access.
- 2 published insurance benefits: Purchase assurance; Extended warranty.
- Other published benefit: Up to 6 months free Walmart Delivery Pass with a subscription
Low friction7.0/10
This input combines network acceptance, caps, conditions, eligibility, and operational effort; a higher rating means less friction.
- Mastercard acceptance; 2.5% foreign-transaction fee.
- No published income minimum.
- Eligibility note: Fairstone publishes no fixed income minimum; the World tier is granted on income and credit (third-party estimates cite roughly $100,000 household), or by auto-upgrade after $15,000+ in annual spend on the base card.
- Practical constraint: Earn rate is identical to the no-income-requirement base card — the World tier only adds insurance and Delivery Pass months
Strategic fit4.0/10
This input asks whether the card fills a distinct role in a small wallet rather than duplicating another card; redemption quality is not counted again here.
- Ranking roles: cash-back.
- Fit case: Frequent Walmart shoppers who qualify for the World tier and want purchase insurance plus more free Delivery Pass months.
- Main conflict: You want rewards you can spend anywhere, or the base Walmart card's identical 3%/1% earn is enough.
