It’s a real shame about the nerf. I even planned on signing up for Arcadia Solar because of the elevated cashback.
However, I’m looking at the base non-paid benefits and it looks like it still has a place in my sock drawer? Correct me if I’m wrong.
My use case:
5% cash-back on utilities, up to $25 monthly.
1% cash-back on T-Mobile phone bill, which takes debit card only for the discount to work.
I’ll need to top up at least once a month to pay my bills, but that could be automated, I guess.
Futurecard still slightly viable?

Barely. Each case is personal.
Worth it for me. Just my electric bill and rent(1%) nets me $12 back per month. A few bucks here and there for public transportation.
A couple of one time deals got me $15 back on my Visible phone bill, but that will be no more.
If enough don’t buy into their new “Future Pass”, they probably won’t be around much longer.
Nominally unlimited 1% on Visa debit is competitive, if niche and not particularly exciting. It’s not really worth having to top up or leaving money in a non-interest-bearing fintech account, though.
