Verdict

One of the best cashback cards with 5% and 2% back options. You choose your categories of preference every quarter, so you can adjust the max cashback sweet spot with your spending pattern changes.
The card lets you get 5% out of $2,000 of your 2 biggest spending categories, e.g. gas and groceries. It can result in $100 back to you every quarter. Remember, that categories list will change quarterly - i.e. your favorite category may not be available in the next period. You have one more category to choose quarterly - to get back unlimited 2% back. 
The only real drawbacks that can be found is that you need to head to the branch to apply - no online application offered. Moreover, it requires having an excellent credit to apply.
