Not as good as the last couple years, I no doubt agree. Outside the estore the offers do not look mind-blowing for sure.
But hey. 10x points on, say, cat litter and Rogaine from Amazon plus another 5x points via the cobranded card ain’t that bad…
If you value points at 2 cents, that’s roughly 30% return on the dollar, at least for the highest return estore offers.
The value proposition really will come down to what the estore bonus multiplier is at each retailer.
