What the numbers are doing

JetBlue Card tops dining at 2.7% only because this table values its points at 1.35 cents each. Value them at one cent and Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus Card wins that category instead.

The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge JetBlue Card $0 and Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus Card $95 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.

Where they differ: JetBlue Card takes everything else, dining, groceries and flights; Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus Card takes travel and hotels.
