WHY WE CHOSE THIS CARD
There’s a good reason we picked this as the best rewards card for earning cash back in different purchase categories. You’ll get 3 points per $1 spent on a long list of expenses: not just flights and hotel stays, but day-to-day bills, including takeout food, dining out, rideshares, and streaming services. Then 1 point per $1 on everything else. Plus, the points are surprisingly versatile. You can always redeem them for cash, or you can book travel or buy merchandise.
