Pretty easy to use no fee card, I also have other travel card, safe and secure to use online because of security features from RBC

It's an okay card for business usage. But the cap at $650 a year is kinda disappointing. We spend more than $10k a month so we get capped within 6 months into the year. The additional extended warranty is average, nothing exciting. The terrible part is that it only requires one additional card and even that is hard to obtain.

Look around 1 more time before you get this card.
