Which card is best for advertising? The ranking below scores each card's advertising rate in cents per dollar at published point valuations; the calculator does the same across your whole monthly spend.

Good to know

  • Rates apply to the issuer's definition of the category, which can be narrower than the everyday word (a warehouse club is rarely "groceries").
  • Enter your actual monthly advertising spend in the best card finder to see the value in dollars, alongside every other category you spend in.
