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 Business Altitude Connect $95 and Cash+ Visa Signature $0 a year, so a thin lead in one category may not cover the difference.

Where they differ: Business Altitude Connect takes dining, gas, travel and rideshare & taxis. Cash+ Visa Signature wins nothing outright in this wallet.
