The advertised gross return (4%, 3%, etc.) does not include the annual fee. Here is the effective return at different mileages.
| Profile | Gross savings | Annual fee | Net | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light (8,000 km / 1,200 L) | $69 | −$48 | $21 | 0.93% |
| Average (15,000 km / 1,750 L) | $101 | −$48 | $53 | 1.58% |
| High (25,000 km / 2,800 L) | $162 | −$48 | $114 | 2.11% |
🎯 Break-even point : $1600 gas spend per year (below that, the card costs more than it earns.)
⚠️ Annual cap: 6,000 $ in fuel spend (beyond that, 0% return).
