Smith's REWARDS World Mastercard® Review | MaxRewards

Smith's REWARDS World Mastercard®

This card is built for Smith's shoppers who also use a mobile wallet regularly. It works best as a no-annual-fee specialty card for Apple Pay and Google Pay purchases, not as a primary card for all spending.

Smith's grocery runs

The Smith's REWARDS World Mastercard® is worth a look if you shop at Smith's and can consistently pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay. Earning 5% back on mobile wallet purchases, up to $3,000 in annual spend, is the main reason to carry it. The 2% back at Smith's adds a little extra value for regular grocery trips, and the $0 annual fee makes it easy to keep in the mix without needing to offset a fee.

For most readers, though, this is a supporting card rather than an everyday wallet staple. Once you hit the mobile wallet cap, the card drops to 1% back on general purchases, and there are no meaningful side perks to make up for that. If your spending lines up with the mobile wallet bonus and you want a simple card for Smith's and tap-to-pay purchases, it fits well. If not, a broader cash-back card will usually be more useful.

MaxRewards Verdict

A good fit for Smith's customers who pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay often enough to use the 5% category. Outside of that lane, the rewards are modest and the card is easy to outgrow.

Rewards

Rewards percent based on a valuation of 1¢ per Kroger Rewards point

This card keeps the rewards story simple: the real value is in mobile wallet spending, with a smaller boost at Smith's and a standard 1% back everywhere else. Think of it as a targeted card for specific purchases, not a one-card setup.
