Nubank cards: how to choose the right one for you?

In fact, it is common for people to categorize Nubank cards as which is the best and which is the worst. However, this is not true. In other words, there is no better, just cards with different benefits for different customer profiles.

For example, the Platinum card also offers basic benefits, like the Surpreenda Mastercard. However, it also has exclusive advantages aimed at travel and leisure. This means that it is ideal for the profile of a customer who travels frequently.

On the other hand, the Gold card, in addition to benefits common to the Mastercard brand card, offers advantages aimed at purchasing consumer goods. In other words, it has certain guarantees for a client with a different profile.

Unlike the Gold and Platinum cards, which are exempt from annual fees, Ultravioleta has an annual fee of R$588 for its holder. In this sense, it is also more favorable for customers who travel more or, even, people who have a higher expense on their invoices.
