Spend Categories
Shipping
You want the most value back for your credit card spends. Since not all points are of equal value, below is a quick reference on dollar value back (not just multipliers) for Shipping spends.
Details
A niche category for most, but if you have a business that does a large amount of shipping, using the right card can make a big difference. Multipliers for shipping can be beefy with certain cards, so it's worth picking a card for FedEx, UPS, and the USPS. The (+) versions of these cards feature the best sign-up bonuses and point multipliers. The (-) versions have limitations that you need to be aware of.Our Top Selections for Shipping (+)
