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 car payments of $550 by card for about $35 in fees, reach the Bank of America Premium Rewards bonus, and keep about $470 after fees and the annual fee. Then switch back to the bank account. Run your own numbers.
Watch out for
Credit cards are not listed as an option, but U.S. Bank does not explicitly refuse them.
