That looks like an interesting card. Its setup similar to the US Bank Cash+, where you get to select your bonus category each quarter. Of course, you only get one 3% category, whereas Cash+ has two 5% categories, so its nowhere near as good. Its nice that the same category will stay in effect each quarter until you change it for future quarters.
I see a couple of categories where 3% might be useful: Utilities, Pharmacy, Walmart. perhaps even the discount store category.
I wonder if Utilities includes cable TV...
It looks like they are only issuing cards to their existing customers.

I didn't actually try to apply, I read some web pages and one article said:
"We're sticking with the customers we know and the markets we know," Ms. Navarro said., adding: "this is not a stepping-off point to be a national issuer of credit cards."
The bank will pitch the cards to customers at its branches and online.
I admit, I'm interested in the card for 3% pharmacy, which I assume is any drugstore purchase. All my local convenience stores are being forced out of business, with entire buildings being replaced with apartment complexes that include either a CVS pharmacy or a Walgreens. And if Utilities includes Cable TV and DSL, that would also be useful to me.

I'll try once I get my results from the blue sky app.
Looking at their service area, I'm not seeing any branches in my state.....???
