Our Review
The Subaru® Platinum MasterCard® from Chase is designed for those with very good credit who plan to purchase or lease a Subaru® vehicle within a four-year period.
Through the reward program, a 3% rebate is earned on all general purchases made with the card. Earned rebates can be redeemed toward the purchase or lease of a new Subaru® vehicle, Subaru® accessories, or regular servicing (such as oil changes) at an authorized Subaru® dealership.
A $100 coupon is issued for every $3,333 spent on the card, with a maximum of $500 that may be earned per year. Although there is a maximum, the 3% rebate is a very reasonable amount for a reward card, as many reward cards usually offer a 1% - 2% rebate for general purchases. Cardholders are also eligible to receive a bonus $25 Subaru Reward Dollars following their first purchase.
Aside from the reward program, the platinum card offers a variety of benefits that include travel accident insurance, auto rental insurance, and various travel and emergency services.
The card provides a reasonable interest rate for purchases and balance transfers for those who qualify and it has no annual fee. This card also offers a 0% introductory rate on purchases and balance transfers for six months.
Therefore, those who qualify for the lowest rate offered and either plan to purchase or already own a Subaru® vehicle (to take advantage of the reward program) will benefit most from what the Subaru® Platinum MasterCard® from Chase has to offer.
Those who are not certain whether or not they plan to purchase a Subaru vehicle in the near future may want to think twice about using the card, as the $100 in coupons cannot be redeemed for any cash value.
