Where it beats a flat 2% card

Restaurants, Supermarkets, Travel. Everywhere else a plain 2% card earns more, so this card is a category card, not an everything card.

Statement credits

Verified from the issuer's terms. A credit is worth its face value only if you would spend there anyway.

Where the grocery bonus will not post

Superstores and warehouse clubs code outside the supermarket category, so the grocery rate usually does not post at Walmart, Target, Costco, Sam's Club or BJ's. Check any store.

Delivery apps and the dining rate

DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub set their own merchant codes. Chase and Amex write delivery into their dining terms; read yours once. The DoorDash breakdown.

Where these numbers come from: RightCard's data pipeline re-checks each card's published rates weekly and lists a rate only after two independent sources agree. Merchant codes come from our merchant directory. If a card or store is missing here, it is because we could not verify it, not because we guessed.
