What the numbers are doing

JetBlue Premier 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 Card 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 Wyndham Rewards Earner Card $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; Wyndham Rewards Earner Card takes gas and hotels.
