If you spend enough in those categories to offset the card&#8217;s modest $95 annual fee, the Savor card can be a great addition to your wallet. <strong>Card Rating*: \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u00bd<\/strong><\/p>\n<h6><em>*Card Rating is based on the opinion of TPG&#8217;s editors and is not influenced by the card issuer.<\/em><\/h6>\n<hr class=\"jsx-3272990499\"\/>\n<p>Many people have come to associate credit card rewards with <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/credit-cards\/airline\/\">frequent flyer miles<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/a-guide-to-earning-transferable-points\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">transferable bank points<\/a>.

It carries an annual fee of $95, but many will earn enough in rewards to easily justify that fee.<\/p>\n<p>Note that you&#8217;ll want a <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/credit-cards\/how-credit-scores-work\/\">credit score<\/a> of 670 or higher for the highest chances of approval.
