Not the best, not the worst

Have had this card for over 20 years. Rate isn't great. Have never offered to increase limit (which may have had me use it more). Rewards aren't great.

Debit/Credit selection at checkout is confusing

The reason I've stopped using my Special Connections card is due to the numerous times I've gone to a restaurant and had the transaction run incorrectly by the restaurant staff. I only use the credit option so Special Connections is useless to me and frustrating when it gets run incorrectly. I've also encountered a number of stores they don't let me even select Credit which further exacerbates the problem.

Not happy with type of business to earn rewards and the amount of rewards points issued in each category. Don't like the annual fee. Mostly use my chase rewards card. Po

Always feel safe with this card!!

I love the feature that you are alerted by a phone call if Commerce Bank card reps feel your card may be in someone else's hands. I've had several calls questioning purchases and that has saved me the headache of charges on my card I did not make.

Disclosures:
  1. A Cash Back redemption is applied as a statement credit. The statement credit will reduce your balance, but you are still required to make at least your minimum payment. Values for non-cash back redemption items such as merchandise, gift cards, and travel may vary. Visit commercebank.com/cashrewardsterms for full rewards program details.

  2. Please note that merchants self-select the category in which transactions will be listed and some merchants may be owned by other companies, therefore transactions may not be counted in the category you might expect. Purchases made using Near Field Communication (NFC), virtual wallets, or similar technology may not be eligible for bonus points. Offer cannot be combined with other promotional offers or World Elite MasterCard® points earned for travel and restaurants.
