What the number is made of

Your card carries $130 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

These carry no honest dollar value, so they stay out of the ledger above. What they have instead is scarcity: most cards don't carry them.
