“Value back” = earn rate × the card's baseline point value (cpp) — a conservative, like-for-like estimate. Transferable points (Amex, Chase, Capital One) are often worth more than baseline. Category bonuses may be capped; see each card. All categories

Frequently asked
What is the best credit card for online shopping in 2026?
By effective value back, U.S. Bank Shopper leads at about 6.0% on online shopping (First $1,500 combined/quarter, then 1.5%). Your own spend and whether you'll use the card's other perks can change the best pick.
Do I need a card with a online shopping bonus?
Not always. If you don't spend much on online shopping, a flat 2% card can net more after annual fees. Compare the value-back figures against your spend — the For-You tool does the math for you.
How is value back calculated?
Effective value back = the earn rate × the card's baseline point value (cents per point). Cashback cards are worth 1¢ per point; transferable points are often worth more. Category spend caps are factored in.
