What the number is made of
Your card carries $0 in credits.
Not points and not a valuation. Statement credits with real dollar amounts, attached to real things — a hotel night, a dinner, a membership, a flight you were taking anyway.
The card year
Every credit, on its own clock
The fee is the debit and every credit pays it back — but only inside the window it is live. Mark what you would really use and watch both the calendar and the balance change.
Selections start at “Never.” “Sometimes” counts a credit at 50% of its annual value; “I'd use this” counts it in full. Several of these credits have to be switched on in the issuer's app before they pay anything — that's the “needs activation” tag below.

What you're covered for
The protections, and how rare they are
