What the numbers are doing

Custom Cash lets you choose one category to earn 5% on. This table assumes nothing is chosen yet, so it earns its base rate everywhere; choose in the generator to see where it lands.

The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard $99 and Custom Cash $0 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.

Where they differ: AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard takes everything else, dining, gas and flights. Custom Cash wins nothing outright in this wallet.
