Airline Credit Card Picker

Premium airline cards carry annual fees worth checking against your actual spending before you sign up. Enter your estimated annual spending by category and, if you have one, a preferred airline. For each card the tool computes what that spend would produce: points earned, the dollar value of those points, estimated benefit value, the annual fee, the first-year welcome bonus, and the resulting net value. Every figure in the results is a computed value from your inputs and the card's published terms, not a recommendation.

This tool scores one card at a time, assuming that single card carries all of the spending you enter. Some travelers hold three to six cards and route each spending category to whichever card earns most on it — that approach changes the math and is not modeled here.

Numbers only — not financial advice. Terms change; verify with the issuer. Each result assumes this one card carries all the spending entered; holding several cards and splitting spend between them is a different calculation.
