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.
