Every category, as published

The everyday rates only. No welcome bonus, no limited-time offers. Where a rotating 5% quarter is live today it is noted in the row.

Category	Earn	≈ value / $1
Restaurants	2x points	2¢ cash · 2¢ travel
Supermarkets	1x points	1¢ cash · 1¢ travel
Gas stations	2x points	2¢ cash · 2¢ travel
Travel	1x points	1¢ cash · 1¢ travel

Travel value uses 1¢ per point for fixed-value miles, a conservative figure. Cash redemptions on most points programs pay 1¢ or less.

Where it beats a flat 2% card

Nowhere on published rates alone. Its case rests on credits, offers or the program its points feed, not on the earn rate.

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.
