What the numbers are doing

JetBlue Premier Card tops everything else at 1.4% only because this table values its points at 1.35 cents each. Value them at one cent and Upromise World Mastercard wins that category instead.

The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge JetBlue Premier Card $499 and Upromise World Mastercard $0 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.

Where they differ: JetBlue Premier Card takes everything else, dining, groceries and flights. Upromise World Mastercard wins nothing outright in this wallet.
