GigaTake:

★★★★★

One of the highest-earning cards available. The relatively high annual fee ($250) is partially offset by travel and dining credits. Cardholders get four Amex Membership Rewards points for every dollar spent on dining and groceries, and three for every dollar spent with airlines. Plus, Membership Rewards can be transferred to more than a dozen airlines.

Calculating rewards based on your personal spending.
