I am highly skeptical.

Is this actually a credit card or just a glorified loyalty card that cobbles together multiple retailers? It's the same company that publishes the "Entertainment" coupon books. I remember those, he he.

You are right it's a glorified rewards card. The new article which linked the press release had described it as a McDonald's credit card which initially confused me.
If McD's really wanted to help out their employees paying them a bit more would likely be more helpful than this rewards program.Disclosure: I am a moderator/paid staff of this site, which does have advertising relationships with some credit cards that are discussed.
