Best ways to earn & redeem

Put your dining, groceries, and gas spending on this card to earn at its highest rates, and let a different card handle the categories it does not bonus. Its dining rate is among the stronger ones you will find in that category.

When you cash in, redeem the miles or points inside the single loyalty program this card is tied to. We value every point at a flat 1 cent, so treat any transfer upside as a bonus rather than the baseline — see what your points are really worth.
