The 5% reward is capped at $500 spend. That's a potential $15/month versus putting the same expense on Double Cash

Earn 5% cash back on purchases in your top eligible spend category each billing cycle, up to the first $500 spent, 1% cash back thereafter
...and only applies to specific categories. many of which earn bonuses on other cards, but this could be good in a category where you have recurring expenses:

5% eligible categories: Restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, select travel, select transit, select streaming services, drugstores, home improvement stores, fitness clubs, live entertainment.

That's to prevent using a separate card for each category, but a couple could have two in a household.
