What the numbers are doing

The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge Ink Business Premier $195 and United Gateway Card $0 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.
Where they differ: Ink Business Premier takes everything else and lyft; United Gateway Card takes gas, public transit, rideshare & taxis and tolls.
