What's a point worth?

Points aren't dollars. A Chase, Amex, Citi or Capital One point is worth about 1¢ as cash back, and often 1.5–2¢ or more when you move it to an airline or hotel partner. Our rates use your setting — Smart (travel value only when you hold a card that unlocks transfers), Cash value or Travel value. See how we rank.

What does a “cap” mean?

Some bonuses only apply up to a spending limit — say 6% on the first $6,000 a year at U.S. supermarkets. Past the cap, the card earns its base rate (often 1%). Log your spend in your wallet and our answers switch to your next best card once a cap is used up.
