What the numbers are doing

Altitude Go Visa Signature's 4x on dining runs out: it applies to the first $2,000 of dining spend a quarter, and everything past that earns 1x.

Where they differ: Altitude Go Visa Signature takes everything else, dining, groceries and gas, plus 1 more. Business Shield Visa Card wins nothing outright in this wallet.
