What the numbers are doing

Air Canada Aeroplan Card tops everything else at 1.5% only because this table values its points at 1.5 cents each. Value them at one cent and Aer Lingus Visa Signature wins that category instead.

The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge Aer Lingus Visa Signature $95 and Air Canada Aeroplan Card $195 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.

Where they differ: Air Canada Aeroplan Card takes everything else, dining, groceries and gas, plus 1 more. Aer Lingus Visa Signature wins nothing outright in this wallet.
