Welcome Bonus Was Great, Ongoing Rewards Not So Much

The welcome bonus for opening a credit card was great. However, this is one of the few credit cards I have that has a minimum for rewards. I currently have $17 of points in my rewards account but can't redeem them for anything of value until I hit $25. Some of the options before I get to the 2,500-point minimum are: A 10.5” x 5” x 13” "Large Silver Gift Bag with Tissue" valued at $15 in points: https://www.scorecardrewards.com/#/products/details/11-6106 “A Gift For You - Gift Card Sleeve”. For emphasis, this is not a gift but a gift ard holder. Like the cardboard piece that stores include for free when you buy a gift card. Valued at $5 in points: https://www.scorecardrewards.com/#/products/details/21-6958 And an “AT&T Wireless - 14% Discount on Monthly Charges”. This would of course vary in value depending on your bill and agreement with AT&T but I have never had AT&T and I don’t have plans to switch so not super useful. https://www.scorecardrewards.com/#/products/details/51-2474 For sure not recommended.

  1. A Cash Back redemption is applied as a statement credit or electronic deposit. The statement credit redemption will reduce your balance, but you are still required to make at least your minimum payment. An electronic deposit redemption will be issued in U.S. currency through an electronic deposit to a checking or savings account of your choice. Values for non-cash back redemption items such as merchandise, gift cards and travel may vary. Visit commercebank.com/cashrewardsterms link opens in a new window for full rewards program details.

  2. Please note that merchants self-select the category in which transactions will be listed and some merchants may be owned by other companies, therefore transactions may not be counted in the category you might expect. Purchases made using Near Field Communication (NFC), virtual wallets, or similar technology may not be eligible for bonus points. Offer cannot be combined with other promotional offers or World Elite MasterCard® points earned for travel and restaurants.
