Honestly I had to look up what sport the Pelicans played (basketball) but this card is really good for 4% back in a popular earn category without an annual fee.
This is interesting of course for the 7x points-earning categories, though that doesn’t represent huge spending for most people (which makes 7x possible to offer!), and even with 4x on dining this is strong earn for a no annual fee card.
New rewards credit card company Cardless has some strong new products, including one of the best no annual fee cards in the market. And now may be the best time to get two of their cards, because of a new offer that lets you earn up to 100,000 bonus points in your first year – indeed this amounts to earning up to 10% back on your spending for a year.
I’ve applied and gotten approved for the Miami Marlins Credit Card. I wrote about why I was excited for this card – it unlocks some great experiential redemption opportunities like throwing out a ball at a Major League game and making announcements in the stadium, and I was amazed by how little spend it would take to get there.
Until now the card – and other cards from new rewards card company Cardless – weren’t available to me, because I’m not an iPhone guy. That changed and I jumped on the opportunity.
Cardless is out with the brand new Miami Marlins Credit Card and what’s especially great about this card is both how it offers strong earning for a no annual fee rewards product, but also how it leverages the strong rewards program that the team already has in place. Would you believe it’s possible to throw out the first pitch at a Major League baseball game after just $4000 in credit card spend?
This week only a new no annual fee rewards card, offering as much as 5x return in some categories, is offering a $500 initial bonus which is fairly unprecedented for this type of product. I interviewed the card issuer’s President to understand the strategy.
Cardless gives us a glimpse into how FinTech can disrupt credit card rewards. There hasn’t been a new major issuer since 1994. Now it’s possible to issue cards with smaller brands at lower cost, and rebate more to the customer.
What if I told you there’s a way to earn an effective 6% back on rideshare, streaming services, and some of your restaurant spend – on a no annual fee card – and you’ve never heard of it?
That’s because if you came across the new Manchester United Credit Card from fintech startup Cardless you might have skipped right over it, but that would have been a mistake.
