• 2× points on groceries, gas, and EV charging. Note exclusion of big?box/grocery warehouses like Costco, Sam’s, and Walmart data.Bankrate+3NerdWallet+3One Mile at a Time+3

• 1× points on all other purchases.Forbes+11NerdWallet+11Bankrate+11

You don’t actually pay your mortgage with the card — instead, you link your mortgage account via Mesa’s app. They confirm your mortgage through your bank account or documents, then credit points based on that amount.Mesa+10Bankrate+10One Mile at a Time+10

? Pros & Cons — Expert Takeaways

Pros:

• Unique ability to earn on your mortgage payment, a category previously unrewarded.

• Solid 3× points categories across a range of home and family needs.

• No annual fee, yet includes robust $700–800 in annual credits, which alone can offset other spending.829 Studios+9One Mile at a Time+9Bankrate+9Mesa+1Point Me To First Class+1

Cons:

• Must meet a $1,000 minimum monthly spend (excluding mortgage) to get mortgage points — otherwise you earn zero on that category.Reddit+2Reddit+2Mesa+2

• Rewards value can be lower vs. other cards (e.g. Alliant or Citi Double Cash) where redemption values or category bonus rates exceed Mesa’s.Bankrate

• Lack of public transparency early on about terms, fees, redemption rates. Though availability has improved by mid?2025, full clarity is still limited.ForbesBankrateBankrate

• Because Mesa and its issuer Celtic Bank are small, long?term sustainability is a question. Experts warn valuable benefits could change or disappear.UpgradedPoints.com+6Bankrate+6Bankrate+6
