Earn 150,000 Membership Rewards bonus points after spending $20,000 in eligible purchases within the first 3 months of Card Membership (~$3,000 at 2 cents/point transfer-partner valuations; standard public offer, with targeted offers occasionally reaching as high as 300,000 points after $25,000 spend).
Only worth it if you'll actually use the Dell, Indeed, and Adobe credits, they total $910 per year but require repeat spending at each vendor. If you do, this is the most credit-rich card on the market.
