The first year free is a nice incentive seeing that many of this card’s direct competitors offer or have offered the first year free. This card, while only achieving fourth place in our current Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings is still a great card for many giving a minimum of 1.5% back to you when you redeem for any travel anywhere (you don’t have to book via TD).
