  • ✦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

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.
