For example, for each calendar year you have the card, you get .025% cashback until you have charged $3000.  Then, you might get .050% until you have charged $6000.  This keeps going up until whatever it is for 1%, it could be as high as $12,000.  PLUS, this resets to 0 EACH calendar year!  I had been a user of their card for over 10 years (I was only 16 and naive for that long) until I realized this....
