1) The extra rewards are capped at 10k of spend per cycle (this one is probably minor or irrelevant for those doing organic spending)
2) Investment accounts are no longer eligible for the bonus. Only checking accounts. Making this option absolute garbage now as you're missing out on more than 4% earnings on the 100k you have to tie up in a checking account to get the 4%.
3) Also it's no longer on "everything", it excludes some categories (tax payments, insurance, education, gift card sites, 3rd party bill pay, etc)
Plus of course unless you had multiple 100ks to tie up at each bank you'd miss out on the 5.25% on multiple categories that you can get the BoA route- even if you could get the "good" version of the USB card anymore.
Yeah, had a hunch that card wouldn't last long. 4% on everything had too many arbitrage opportunities. I actually mentioned that on an old smartly card post. https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/17737791
Didn't realize that they killed it already. Glad I stuck with BofA.
Just put a $24k tax payment on the unlimited card. I really underwitheld my 2024 taxes.
