Lounge Frog

Points Frog's ranking of popular US rewards cards for one kind of spending (dining, groceries, flights, hotels, gas, streaming, everyday spending, or no annual fee): cents back per dollar, which is the card's earning rate times Points Frog's value for its points (cash back at 1 cent), with each card's rate, annual fee, caps and notes from the issuer's terms, the list's page and the calculator that ranks cards on someone's own spending. Welcome bonuses and credits are left out.
