The Reasoning
The Bank Of America® Customized Cash Rewards Secured Credit Card produces an estimated $381 of net annual value at $30,000 of annual spend. That is the approximate dollar answer. Whether the card is "worth it" depends on how you weigh the trade-offs the math does not model.
Secured cards are for building or rebuilding credit, not for optimizing rewards. The math still works the same way, but for users in this position, the card's graduation path and the credit-building utility matter more than the NAV number.
