What the numbers are doing
Cash+ Visa Signature lets you choose 2 categories 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 Altitude Reserve Visa Infinite $400 and Cash+ Visa Signature $0 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.
Where they differ: Altitude Reserve Visa Infinite takes everything else and travel. Cash+ Visa Signature wins nothing outright in this wallet.
