Credit cards · Cash back

Compare what the cards could actually be worth to you.

Compare annual fees, cash-back rates, category limits, welcome-offer requirements, and other important terms. Then estimate first-year and ongoing value using your own spending.

One important limit: these comparisons assume you pay the statement balance in full. They do not estimate interest costs or approval odds.
InfoShot Decision Brief

Rank these cards for your spending.

Decision aid · not approval guidance

InfoShot does not model carried-balance interest or approval odds. Welcome bonuses stay out of the model until eligibility is affirmatively confirmed.

The application link is downstream of the decision model. Commercial compensation does not change which card ranks first.

Why #1

Citi Double Cash leads Blue Cash Everyday Card by about $38 under your selected first-year assumptions.

What changes the answer

The answer can change when your spending mix shifts between flat-rate and bonus categories or when a verified fee/reward term changes.

Who should skip it

Skip the modeled winner if you expect to carry a balance; this engine deliberately does not subtract interest charges from rewards value.

How we compare cards: Welcome offers count only when the spending requirement is met. Category limits stay attached to the categories they apply to. Compensation does not determine the ranking. See the methodology.
