FAQ

What is a retention offer?

It is a card issuer offer that may encourage a cardholder to keep a card, often with credits, points or spend requirements. Official issuer terms control.

Should I value points at the issuer advertised value?

Use a conservative value you would actually redeem. If you are unsure, test multiple cents-per-point assumptions.

Does a positive result mean I should keep the card?

No. It is only a planning estimate; benefits, downgrade options, credit profile and issuer rules may matter.

Can this calculator verify offer eligibility?

No. Only the issuer can confirm eligibility, deadlines, spend rules and whether an offer is available.

Is this financial advice?

No. This is educational and not personalized financial, tax, legal or credit advice.
