- US Bank Smartly Savings currently (2024.9) has an APY 4.10% (if your balance is $25,000 or more), which is quite competitive among savings accounts. US Bank Self-Directed Investing has an annual fee of $50, it has 100 free trades per year, therefore if you just invest in VOO and never trade again then there’s not much cost.
Disadvantages
- We are not sure yet whether the 4% cashback is unlimited, or how much is the limit. According the current wordings on the official page, it seems like unlimited.
- We are not sure yet how much is the annual fee.
- We are not sure yet how much is the welcome offer.
- We are not sure yet when it will become available.
Recommended Application Time
- We recommend you apply for this card after you have a credit history of at least two years and you are very comfortable with the credit card game.
Summary
If the 4% cashback is unlimited, or the limit is huge, then obviously this is a fantastic card for big spenders. There are too many unknowns yet, let’s wait and see. If you are interested, you can join the waitlist now.
