Final Verdict
This is one, if not the best, no annual fee credit cards. You effectively get to choose where you want to earn a lot of points and you can change it month over month. It gives you so much freedom and ability to earn the highest point multiplier in the credit card game.
My suggestion is to choose one of the categories and only use this card for that category. For myself, it's a dedicated gas card. I lock in that 5x points on gas all year as it's the only spending I put on it and I don't approach $500 a month. However, that is a drawback, as this card does cap you at $500 per month.
Still, this is one of my highest recommended cards and with a $200 sign up bonus on a no annual fee card, you really can't go wrong with that. I personally love this card and it's a keeper for me.
