What the numbers are doing

The table is earn rate only — annual fees are not netted out of it. These cards charge Altitude Connect Visa Signature $0 and Business Altitude Connect $95 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.

Where they differ: Altitude Connect Visa Signature takes groceries and streaming; Business Altitude Connect takes travel and rideshare & taxis.
