A solid no-fee dining card if you live where Regions does business: 3% at restaurants, 2% on groceries and gas, and points we count at a plain cent each — no extra value assumed, none needed.

How the 0–10 Card Score works

Data: MoneyRoom card catalog (details pending verification are flagged) · scores update daily · catalog data as of 2026-04-30 · How we verify

It's a dining-first card: 3% at restaurants, 2% on groceries and gas, and the base rate on everything else, which works out to about 1.7% back on a typical year of spending. No fee and no credits give perfect value and effort scores, for an overall score of 8.7.

One note on the points: rewards build up as Regions' own points, which we count at a cent each, because that's exactly what they're worth when you redeem them. There are no airline transfers to dream about; what you see is what you get.

Credits vs. fee

No annual fee to cover.

Typical value applies our published discounts for what makes credits easy to miss: deadlines, limits on where you can use them, enrollment (switching a credit on once), and waiting to be paid back.

This card has no recurring statement credits. There's nothing to enroll in, track, or lose — the list is empty by design.

The fine print that matters

Why is typical value less than face value?

The program's simplicity is the fine print. Points redeem through Regions' banking at a flat value — no tricks for extra value, and little risk of the points losing value — and the bonus categories are fixed, not rotating or chosen, so our rule on conditions has nothing to take off. The practical limit is location: this is a regional bank's card, and everything from approval to service assumes you're in its area.

Earning

What does everyday spending actually earn?

Rewards come as points, which we value at 1¢ per point (a middle-of-the-range value). On our published mix of everyday spending, that works out to 1.7% back.

Not in the score

What does the score leave out?

Relationship banking perks. Regions checking tie-ins and any rate boosts live outside the rates we have on file for the card.
Visa Signature extras. Concierge and protections from the Visa network — real, the same on many cards, and impossible to price fairly.
The welcome offer. One-time, so the score leaves it out.

Are the points a catch?
No — they're just dollars dressed up as points. We count them at the fixed cent each they're worth, so the score doesn't over- or under-value them.
Who is it for?
A Regions customer who eats out: 3% on dining is the card's whole personality, and a good one at no fee.
