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.
