Independent information: CreditCardCompanion does not collect bank credentials or transaction history. Compensation never changes the factual card information shown, and approval is never guaranteed.

Renewal and alternatives

Renewal baseline: start with the $895 annual fee, then count only recurring rewards and benefits you expect to use. Welcome offers belong in a separate first-year calculation.
