What the numbers are doing

JetBlue Plus 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 Premier Card wins that category instead.

The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge JetBlue Plus Card $99 and Wyndham Rewards Earner Premier Card $395 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.

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