What the numbers are doing

Sapphire Reserve for Business tops everything else at 2.1% only because this table values its points at 2.05 cents each. Value them at one cent and United Club Business Card wins that category instead.

The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge Sapphire Reserve for Business $795 and United Club Business Card $695 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.

Where they differ: Sapphire Reserve for Business takes everything else, advertising, flights and hotels, plus 1 more. United Club Business Card wins nothing outright in this wallet.
