There are better options out there.
In principle founders card is good. It's not exceptional but good. If you do not have a good credit card with benefits then I see why people would choose founders card. In my time I found it inferior to my amex gold and platinum. Tier levels with these two cards are much better and you get to keep them.Both my Amex cards have done more for me than my founders elite could. If you don't have these cards then please use the founders card.

We appreciate you sharing your feedback, Kerry. We understand that value can vary based on individual needs and existing benefits. Many of our Members also hold premium credit cards, and typically there is minimal overlap. In many cases, the programs complement one another and allow Members to maximize overall value while accessing exclusive perks not available through their cards alone. We also noticed that only a few benefits were redeemed during your membership, out of 500+ available — many of which can easily offset the annual fee. If you decide to explore FoundersCard again in the future, we’d be delighted to welcome you back and help tailor recommendations based on your interests so you can maximize the value.
