How these were worked out. Only cards whose rates a person read off the issuer's own published terms are ranked here; 1 other card in the catalogue publishes a rate on education that nobody has yet read off the issuer, and is not listed here at all. Points and miles are valued at the redemption rate the programme publishes, the rate anyone can take rather than the best one after a transfer. A rate that covers only part of education — one chain of shops, one kind of merchant — is shown with what it covers and is not ranked, because it is not what the card pays on education.

The right card depends on what you have already spent.

PayperWIZ holds the cards you actually own and names the right one at the till — after the cap you have already used this month, and after the foreign-currency fee. Every rate in it says whether it was read off the issuer, and none is made up.
