How we compare

  • Every figure on this page is read from the card data we maintain — annual fees, foreign transaction fees, earn rates, spending caps, welcome offers, insurance and lounge access.
  • Points are valued at our published valuation for each card's loyalty program. Cash back is counted at face value.
  • The spending profiles are standard baskets, not your spending. The share charged in a foreign currency is a stated scenario assumption.
  • Year one and the years after are kept separate: the welcome bonus and any first-year fee waiver only count in year one.
  • We may earn a commission when you apply through the links on this page. It never changes the figures above — they come from the same data for every card.
