Your Verdict
You are $638 ahead after the annual fee.
Then Manage It in My Wallet—Free.
Used a credit this month? Tap Yes, Skip, or Remind Me in the email. One tap adds it to your Value You Use. We send reset and renewal reminders on schedule. We watch the calendar—not your bank account. The verdict is the front door. Reminders keep it current—and you stay in control of what counts.
Four rules behind every verdict.
Same rules, every card. No exceptions, no asterisks.
- 1
Automatic Means No Selection Required.
Automatic value is included in your WTF Check with no selection required. Enrollment or activation may still apply. Every amount is sourced from issuer terms.
- 2
Earned Value Is Never Assumed.
“Spend $5,000, get $1,000” is value you have to earn. We show the requirement and count only the value you realistically expect to earn in Value You Use.
- 3
We show every string.
Minimum stays, enrollment steps, expiration dates, right next to the dollars.
- 4
We link to the source.
Every value starts from the issuer’s published terms. Each credit links to its source and shows whether it’s verified, and when — so you never have to take our word for it.
This is why we can do the one thing no one else will: tell you, honestly, when your card isn't worth the fee.
