Ranked by effective value per dollar at Burger King — including welcome offer math, redemption value, and annual fee.
Rankings are generated by our algorithm based on earn rates, point valuations, fees, and benefits — not paid placement. We don't accept compensation to rank cards higher. How we rank
American Express Gold Card earns the top spot for Burger King purchases at 7.2¢ per dollar — a $325 annual fee, factoring in welcome offers and ongoing rewards. We ranked every card in our database against Burger King purchases using the same scoring engine that powers our search. The list below orders cards by net value to you, not by what pays the biggest affiliate commission. Cards 4–10 are still solid picks; they just trade off some of the headline value for fewer fees, broader networks, or simpler redemptions.
