Credits

No statement credits, this card wins on earn rates, not coupons.

Benefits

  • Category menu includes utilities, internet/cable/streaming, cell phone and home utilities, which most 5% cards never offer
  • Pairs with other U.S. Bank cards for category coverage

Why it earns its spot

  • +You choose the 5% categories instead of a bank calendar
  • +Utilities and cell phone at 5% is rare
  • +No annual fee

Where it costs you

  • Quarterly activation required or you earn 1%
  • $2,000 quarterly cap on the 5% spend
  • 3% foreign transaction fee

The Compound Verdict

The best choose-your-own 5% card on the market because the menu covers bills other cards ignore. Set it to utilities and cell phone, activate each quarter, and it quietly outearns flashier cards. Forget to activate and it is a 1% card.
