Frequently asked questions
Does Amazon qualify for online shopping bonuses?
Some cards treat Amazon as online shopping; others classify it as a separate merchant category. Check the card's published bonus categories for current rules.
How does Credit Card Optimizer rank the best cards for online shopping?
We calculate ongoing annual value for each card using the spending profile on this page ($450/mo Online Shopping · $200/mo Supermarket & Grocery · $150/mo Restaurant & Dining · $150/mo Other · $100/mo Travel · $100/mo Gas & Transportation), including category earn rates, caps, and perks, minus annual fees. Welcome bonuses are shown separately as first-year value and don't affect ranking order.
