What the numbers are doing
Sapphire Reserve for Business tops everything else at 2.1% only because this table values its points at 2.05 cents each. Value them at one cent and British Airways Visa Signature wins that category instead.
The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge British Airways Visa Signature $95 and Sapphire Reserve for Business $795 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.
Where they differ: Sapphire Reserve for Business takes everything else, advertising, flights and hotels, plus 1 more. British Airways Visa Signature wins nothing outright in this wallet.
