Mr. Loonie’s tip Look at every year after before year one. A big welcome offer pays once; the earn rates pay every month you keep the card.

Questions

How do you work out year one?

We add what each card earns at your spending, plus the part of the welcome offer you’d get, then take off the first year’s annual fee. Every year after leaves out the offer and uses the regular fee.

Can I compare more than two cards?

Yes, up to four. Tap Add a card above the table, or + Compare on any card page.

Do banks pay to appear here?

No. You pick the cards and the math decides the numbers. We may earn a fee when you apply through some links. That never changes a number.

Year one adds what each card earns at the spending you picked, plus the part of the welcome offer that spending reaches, then takes off the first year’s fee. Every year after leaves out the offer and uses the regular fee. Points are counted at the value shown under each card.

Sources, checked by us:

Rates, fees and offers come from the card issuers and change often. We work to keep this page accurate and current, but it may contain mistakes, so always check the issuer’s terms before you apply. Values are estimates for the spending you picked, rounded to the nearest dollar.
