What the numbers are doing
The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge Premium Rewards $95 and Travel Rewards $0 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.
Where they differ: Premium Rewards takes dining, flights and hotels. Travel Rewards wins nothing outright in this wallet.
