When a card is worth it
The fee usually beats the reward, except when it unlocks a sign-up bonus. Example: someone who already puts $1,000 a month on a card could pay 2 tax payments of $1,000 by card for about $46 in fees, reach the Chase Sapphire Preferred bonus, and keep about $609 after fees and the annual fee. Then switch back to the bank account. Run your own numbers.
