What the numbers are doing

Ink Business Preferred tops everything else at 2.1% only because this table values its points at 2.05 cents each. Value them at one cent and Ink Business Premier wins that category instead.

The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge Ink Business Preferred $95 and Ink Business Premier $195 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.

Where they differ: Ink Business Preferred takes everything else, phone & internet, shipping and advertising, plus 3 more. Ink Business Premier wins nothing outright in this wallet.
