Which credits count

Answer once per credit, on both cards

Nobody uses every credit. Pick a category, see both cards side by side, and mark what you would use — the effective annual fee above recomputes against your answers, not the issuer's best case.

No tracked statement credits for Prime Visa or Costco Anywhere Visa®.

Rates normalised to cents of value per dollar spent, so different point currencies compare. Useful once you hold the card; it is not what decides whether the fee is worth paying.
