Comparing cards — FAQ
Pick a card in each dropdown above and the table shows both side by side — reward type, cashback rate, monthly cap, annual fee, income requirement, network, perks, current promo and any verified fine print. The better value on each objectively-comparable row is highlighted. Your selection is saved in the page link, so you can share the exact comparison.
Both. A high rate with a low monthly cap can earn less than a moderate rate with a generous cap. That's why the table shows the rate and the cap side by side, and our cashback calculator combines them with your actual spend to find the true winner.
Fine-print rows (exclusions, minimum spend, cap mechanics, foreign-transaction fee) appear as they're verified for each card from the official Product Disclosure Sheet. Where a row is blank, check the card's page and the bank's official terms. We never guess these details.
