Let’s Talk About the Ness Card $349 Annual Fee

Everything featured on The Nessie is independently selected and rigorously tested. We may receive a small commission on purchases made from some of our links. Also, The Nessie is part of the Ness Card ecosystem. (The Ness Card is issued by The Bank of Missouri, pursuant to a license from Mastercard, and serviced by Ness Well Financial, LLC.) If you’ve found us here, you’d probably be into it.

Here at Ness, we’re big proponents of living your best life. A big part of that, for us, means spending money on the right things. If you’re considering using the $349-a-year1 Ness Card,2 we bet that’s pretty important to you, too. 

That’s why we’ve done the work to secure the best benefits3 for anyone who uses our card.4 But don’t just take our word for it. Take a look at the Ness Card Benefits—and how they might benefit you—to see for yourself.

5x Spend on Healthy Purchases, 2x on All Other Purchases

Six is a hefty multiplier. When used in combination with spend at a healthy merchant, it turns a $100 class pack at your local yoga studio into 500 points, a $150 grocery haul into 750 points, and a $250 facial into 1,250 points.5

This isn’t to diminish the power of doubling something, which is what happens when you buy anything else with your Ness Card. Let’s say you use it to spend $20 at happy hour (40 points), $50 on gas (100 points), or $1,200 on a new couch for your living room (7,200 points).

Whatever you buy with your Ness Card, it’ll net a multitude of points that you can use in our rewards marketplace to redeem for more healthy food, drink, activities, products, and services. Like CorePower yoga classes, Cava bowls, Hyperice compression boots, and so much more.6 Which is, you know, the whole point of the Ness Card. 

This is all served to you on a sweet metal card—16g of stainless steel, to be exact. (Plus, it sparkles.)

Money Back When You Spend Healthy (AKA Card Benefits)

At a certain point in your life, your chances to earn extra credit start to dwindle. We don’t like that, so we’re adding some back—and, in this case, “extra credit” means “money back.” (In the form of a statement credit when you use your Ness Card.)

$200 Yearly Healthy Spend Credit

You get an automatic $200 statement credit back on any healthy spend with your Ness Card. That’s money back on purchases you’re (almost certainly) already making, like groceries, monthly Peloton memberships, pairing your weighted blanket with a sauna blanket, visiting your therapist, and more. 

Not sure what healthy spend is—or what merchants qualify? We’ve laid it all out

50,000 Point Sign-Up Bonus ($500 Value)

You’ll get a 50,000-point sign-up bonus if you spend $6,000 or more (on anything, not just healthy things!) in your first 90 days with the Ness Card. With points for rewards in our marketplace worth $0.01 (or more), that’s a $500 value.7
