So with Bold it is 4%more -2.95%fee -0.8%reload fee = 0.25% more than using any other card
If you are grandfathered, 0.75%.
$50K will net you $375.
That doesn't look right to me. If you use any other card you would still have the 2.95% fee. So, with most other cards you will get negative value from paying rent.
