Rewards Base Earn
Explanation:
Some rewards credit cards offer a different amount of rewards depending on how much you spend, when you spend it, and the types of purchases you make.
"Base Earn" refers to the minimum amount of rewards that you stand to earn by making a purchase.
Please keep in mind that the amount of time it takes for rewards to be credited to your account varies by card. For example, a rewards credit card with a base earn rate of 1.2% cash back might credit the full 1.2% at the end of each billing period, while another card with the same base earn rate might credit 1% at the end of each billing period and the remaining 0.2% at the end of each year (as a way to incentivize customers to keep their accounts open).
