Best card
Which card earns the most by category and store
Each page runs a realistic purchase through the same rewards engine as Pikt Checkout. Pikt checks rates for 250+ cards against issuer terms, then ranks the personal cards still open to new applicants. Points and cash back are shown in dollars. Pikt personalizes each estimate to the cards you already carry, the purchase details, and any reward values you set. It compares supported earn rates, eligible offers, caps, and card constraints, then explains the result. See how Pikt compares cards.
