Sometimes you have to pay to play.

We’re calculating what the card could cost you while you have it. We’ve taken your personal information, the card details, and average spending data to get to this value. If the costs are greater than the rewards, you should look for a card with the lowest cost.

Preferred Checking offers interest on the money you keep in your account—albeit, not much (in April it was just 0.05%). In addition to unlimited free check-writing, you'll also get free checks and online bill payment. In order to avoid $9 monthly maintenance fee, you'll need to maintain a $5,000 average monthly balance.

If you're paying off an installment loan or equity line, you can tie this account to it to make payments. This saves you .25% off your interest rate as SunTrust likes their customers to be all tied together. The free online bill paying is a nice feature, as well, and makes paying bills very easy.
