Our verdict

Why the C6 Carbon Mastercard Black ranks where it does

O C6 Carbon é um bom cartão de pontos para quem atinge a isenção, e um cartão caro para quem não atinge. A pontuação base é de 2,5 pontos Átomos por dólar para quem investe até R$ 250 mil, subindo para 2,7, 3 e 3,5 pontos conforme o volume investido em renda fixa do C6 ou, no caso de 2,7, com pagamentos elegíveis a partir de R$ 4 mil por mês. Os pontos não expiram e podem virar até 1,7% de cashback na conta.

A anuidade é de R$ 98 por mês, R$ 1.176 por ano, e zera com gastos a partir de R$ 8 mil na fatura, R$ 50 mil em renda fixa emitida pelo C6 ou R$ 1 milhão investido. Mesmo no melhor caso de 1,7% de cashback, seriam precisos cerca de R$ 5.765 de gastos mensais para pagar a mensalidade; entre esse valor e os R$ 8 mil da isenção, o cartão se paga, mas sobra pouco.

O benefício de salas VIP é mais modesto do que o nome Mastercard Black sugere: 4 acessos gratuitos por ano, divididos entre titular, adicionais e acompanhantes, em DragonPass, Espaço C6 Bank e W Premium. O acesso ilimitado fica reservado a quem investe mais de R$ 1 milhão.

Good fit if

  • Quem gasta R$ 8 mil ou mais por mês no cartão
  • Investidores com R$ 50 mil ou mais em renda fixa do C6
  • Quem quer pontos que não expiram e a opção de trocá-los por dinheiro

Skip it if

  • Quem gasta pouco e não investe no C6, já que a anuidade chega a R$ 1.176 por ano
  • Quem viaja com frequência e precisa de muitos acessos a salas VIP
Worked example

Suponha gastos de R$ 8.250 por mês, cerca de US$ 1.500 supondo R$ 5,50 por dólar, e investimentos abaixo de R$ 250 mil. Com 2,5 pontos por dólar, são 3.750 pontos por mês e 45.000 no ano. Como a fatura passa de R$ 8 mil, a anuidade é zerada. Para ficar no lado conservador, atribuímos a cada ponto R$ 0,02, um valor de referência nosso e não do banco: 45.000 × R$ 0,02 = R$ 900 no ano. Sem a isenção, a anuidade de R$ 1.176 superaria esse valor.

How it stacks up

O Nubank Ultravioleta usa a mesma régua de isenção e cobra R$ 89 por mês fora dela, com 1,25% de cashback, IOF zero no exterior e Priority Pass, um pacote mais forte para quem viaja. O Itaú Personnalité Visa Infinite sai mais barato, R$ 1.056 por ano, e zera com R$ 10 mil de gastos mensais, mas exige conta Personnalité.
