The Breeze Easy® Visa Signature® costs $89/yr — that's $89 more than the Barclays View Mastercard (no annual fee). To justify that gap, you need to extract at least $89 in annual value from the card's higher earn rates and benefits.
Bottom line: Use the year-one vs ongoing table for modeled earn value at your spend level. The $89 fee gap means the Breeze Easy® Visa Signature® needs roughly $89 more in annual rewards (or credits you will use) to break even on dining and grocery stores and everyday spend.
