Generic "best card" lists ignore the one thing that actually determines your best card: how you spend. Enter your monthly spend by category below and get a personalized top-5 ranking — with the exact earning math shown for each card, using live card data.
A card with an amazing dining multiplier is worthless if you rarely eat out — this tool weighs each card against your actual monthly spend across dining, travel, gas, groceries, streaming, and everything else, plus whether you can realistically hit its welcome bonus spend requirement.
Yes — each card's ranking nets out its annual fee against the estimated point/mile value earned.
Only if you're confident you'll hit the spend requirement responsibly — toggle the bonus weighting off to see rankings based purely on ongoing earning.
