Our verdict
Meow is a US business credit card that suits companies buying artificial intelligence tooling, and it charges an annual fee of $0. The catch is narrow: the reward only applies to eligible AI spend, and help runs on email alone.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Annual fee of $0, ranking 1 among 301 brands on the site.
- Cashback of 2.5% on eligible AI spend on a category of spend most company cards ignore.
- Aimed squarely at business customers, and structured as a credit card.
Cons
- Support runs on email only, so a blocked payment or a limit increase has no phone route.
- The reward is narrow: 2.5% on eligible AI spend leaves other company card spend with no stated return.
- Based in US under Meow Technologies, Inc., so there is no UK or euro account to open.
Who it suits
- Startups and small companies whose software stack is built on AI subscriptions.
- Business owners who want a credit card with no annual charge and one simple reward.
- Teams already billing and paying in US dollars.
Who should look elsewhere
- Starling Personal Account Debit Card, at an annual fee of £0, suits readers who want a debit account rather than a credit line.
- Wise, with an annual fee of £0, suits readers who want a fee free account rather than a business credit card.
- AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito, at an annual fee of €0, suits readers who want a euro priced card.

Frequently asked questions
What is the annual fee on the Meow card?+
The annual fee is $0, and Meow runs a no annual fee model. That places it at the free end of the business card table, where the site median annual fee is €0 and the upper quartile reaches €4.89.
How much cashback does Meow pay?+
Meow pays 2.5% on eligible AI spend. The qualifier is built into the rate itself, because the eligible category is AI spend. Cashback is credited as cashback rather than points, which keeps the reward simple to reconcile on a company expense claim.
Is Meow a debit card or a credit card?+
It is a credit card, so balances are paid back rather than cleared from a deposit account. That is unusual for a card with no annual charge, and it places Meow alongside the 96.8% of credit cards on the site.
How do I reach Meow if a payment is blocked?+
Support runs on email, so email is the route listed for this card. Phone and chat are not among those channels, and 67.3% of the cards on the site do offer phone support, so readers who want a spoken line may look elsewhere.
Who is the Meow card aimed at?+
The stated audience is business, and the card is a credit product. The rewards rate of 2.5% on eligible AI spend ties the earn to model and software subscriptions, so the account fits companies whose costs sit there rather than in everyday purchasing.
Where is Meow based, and how old is it?+
Meow is run by Meow Technologies, Inc., headquartered in the United States and founded in 2021. The entity and its home market sit in US dollars, so the fee of $0 and the cashback rate are set for that market.
How does Meow compare on fees with Wise, Starling and AXI?+
On fees they are level: Meow charges $0, Wise £0, Starling £0 and AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito €0. What separates Meow is the reward line, 2.5% on eligible AI spend, rather than the price of holding the card.
Where does Meow rank against the other cards on the site?+
Meow scores 7.5 overall on the site, with the offer part at 7.5. On annual fee it ranks 1 among 301 brands, so holding the card at no cost is a genuine strength of the offer.
