Chase
On $1,000 a month of spending, split evenly across restaurants, travel, groceries and everything else: yes.
24,000 points a year at 1.86¢ = $446, minus the $195 annual fee = $251 a year.
That is a worked example, not a figure about you — we have no idea what you spend. Put your own numbers in and the same arithmetic runs on those.
| On | Rate | Cap |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurants and takeaway | 2× Air Canada Aeroplan | none |
| Flights, hotels and transport | 3× Air Canada Aeroplan | none |
| Groceries | 2× Air Canada Aeroplan | none |
| Everything else | 1× Air Canada Aeroplan | none |
3x on Air Canada and on travel, 2x on dining and grocery, 1x elsewhere. Chase is running dining and grocery at 3x through 31 December 2026; the permanent 2x is what we score.

Credits count for $0 in the sum above — what a typical holder actually redeems, not the sticker value of every credit on the page. Welcome offer and credits not yet read from the issuer's page, so none are counted; added 2026-09-18 for its earn rates only. Travel is priced at the card's general travel rate, not its own-airline rate.
