Ebay MasterCard Rewards... Worth it?

[Creditaddict]

For someone like myself that has ebay fees in the hundreds every month do the rewards equal out AT LEAST 1-1?  I know they have the categories now that seem like they are competing with some of the better cards but then I read credit reviews and some of them just BLAST GE and the trade in and I then get confused how to actually tell if I'm getting anything or not?!

Thank you.

I ship UPS 99% but I bill it to a credit card AFTER it bills to my UPS account because despite what they say my UPS tier is better than the linked tier through ebay.

I also now bill the ebay fees to a credit card vs. paying with paypal because of the rewards.

But if it doesn't really get me anything better than probably not worth opening whole new account vs. just using Amex or something (If we make it through FR!) lol

While the rewards seem great when you read them, I've heard the redemption isnt all that good. Only real benefit would be that its GE so your limit will grow.that and the 30$ signup bonus.

Isn't Ebay MC Chase? Maybe I am remembering wrong...

I dont think so. The ebay MC and paypal MC are the same thing. And paypal is GE.

You're right, my apologies - remembering incorrectly !!

The Fidelity American Express would be better in my opinion. There may not be limitless soft inquiry increases, but at least it is 2% everywhere and not just on Ebay.

GE basically offers store cards, rather it gets Visa, Discover, Amex... it's still a store card and if it's not 0% you should not plan on using a GE backed card if you need to revolve the balances! I have done it before, not looking to do it again and not the purpose of this card for me!
