What the numbers are doing

Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority tops gas at 2.5% only because this table values its points at 1.25 cents each. Value them at one cent and Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful wins that category instead.

The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful $250 and Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority $229 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.

Where they differ: Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful takes everything else, dining and groceries; Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority takes gas, flights and lyft.
