How this is ranked

Every personal card earnrate tracks, each set up at its best for this purchase: the right bonus-category pick, any activation done, and no spending cap used up yet. Points are counted at 1¢, what most are worth as cash or travel credit; transferring them to airlines or hotels can be worth more. Annual fees aren't subtracted here; to weigh them against your own spending, use My spending.
