Assumptions & how placements work

$1,500 in eligible purchases each month, paid in full, with flat reward rates. Annual value subtracts the annual fee and excludes interest, bonuses, category limits, and unused benefits. Purchase APRs shown are hypothetical single-point examples, not issuer pricing.

Featured order demonstrates a sponsored position followed by two example listings. Other sorts use the displayed figures. No placement has been purchased. RatesMatter receives no referral compensation from these examples. A higher position is not a recommendation.

Make the comparison personal.

Build a refinance target using your own balance, closing costs, and timeline.
