What the numbers are doing

United Quest Card tops travel at 2.4% only because this table values its points at 1.2 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 United Quest Card $350 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; United Quest Card takes travel, streaming and flights.
