About this card

The REI Co-op Mastercard is a solid card with a few key strengths and weaknesses. Its reputation is strong within its target niche, and it's issued by a reputable institution (Capital One). The rewards program is compelling for REI shoppers, offering 5% back on REI purchases and 1.5% on all other purchases, plus a decent sign-up bonus. The fee structure is also attractive, with no annual fee or foreign transaction fees. However, the high APR range and limited reward redemption options (only at REI) hold it back. For those who frequently shop at REI, this card is a good choice. Its APR and limited redemption hurt its overall versatility.
