Top picks for menu-depot.com from our scoring engine.
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
Ranked by earn rate and redemption value, statement credits minus annual fees (weighted against a typical $30,000/year in total card spend), shopping portal bonuses when we recognize the merchant, matched benefits and promotional earn boosts, co-brand fit for this brand. The ¢ per dollar column is the reward rate at menu-depot.com, after spend caps. Order can differ from that column because ranking adds the adjustments above.
Bilt Obsidian Card earns the top spot for menu-depot.com purchases at 6.6¢ per dollar on dining — a $95 annual fee. We ranked every card in our database against menu-depot.com purchases using the same scoring engine that powers our search. See the note above the list for what drives order versus the ¢ per dollar column. Cards 4–10 are still solid picks; they just trade off some headline earn rate for fewer fees, broader networks, or simpler redemptions.
