No-fee rewards
Yes, if your priority is a no-annual-fee card that earns a solid flat 2% on everything. The appeal here is easy to understand: you can use it for groceries, gas, bills, shopping, and miscellaneous spending without thinking about rotating categories or where your card earns more.
It is a weaker fit for anyone looking for travel perks, statement credits, or a rich list of protections, because none are listed here. There is also no welcome bonus, so the value comes from long-term everyday use rather than a big first-year payout. If you want a simple rewards card and prefer cash back over points, this card makes sense. If you want extras, it will likely feel bare-bones.

The Onyx Mastercard® is a good fit for someone who wants flat-rate cash back with no annual fee and no complexity. Its main limitation is that the value is almost entirely in the 2% earnings, not in side benefits or first-year incentives.
This card keeps rewards simple: 2% cash back on purchases across the board. That makes it easy to use as a primary everyday card or as a steady option for spending that does not fit another card's bonus categories.
