What the Critics Are Saying...

The REI Credit Card is a decent secondary credit card for those looking to score some discounts on REI and grocery purchases. However, because you only receive your rewards once per year and because most shopping categories earn just a 1% return, this is unlikely to become anybody’s go-to credit car...

It doesn’t make sense to use this card for everyday purchases. 5% back at REI stores isn’t bad, but you might just be better off purchasing gift cards to REI at a discount. The sign up bonus is OK as well, but there are much better cash sign up bonuses out there.
