What the numbers are doing

Abroad the answer flips: Freedom Rise charges a 3% foreign transaction fee, so once that comes off the rate United Business Card is the better card for everyday spend.

The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge Freedom Rise $0 and United Business Card $150 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.

Where they differ: Freedom Rise takes everything else; United Business Card takes dining, gas, public transit and rideshare & taxis, plus 1 more.
