What to look for
- Flat-rate cards are simple; category cards can earn more if your spending matches the categories.
- Check spending caps (for example a quarterly or yearly maximum at the top rate).
- Some categories rotate or must be activated; missing activation earns the lower rate.
- Cash back rewards may be taxable in limited cases; ask a tax professional.
