Given that points often go on sale for less than a penny per point, even just buying points and using a cash-back card would be a better value for most of those categories.
The most interesting to me is phone plans, since the card also includes cell phone insurance. There's other options for that but this isn't a particularly bad one for no annual fee.
Also LOL at this quote
from the press release:
Not sure how much additional value is being added, and certainly is not a best-in-class credit card program.
