Top picks for Spotify 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 Spotify, after spend caps. Order can differ from that column because ranking adds the adjustments above.
Chase Sapphire Preferred Card earns the top spot for Spotify purchases at 5.4¢ per dollar on streaming — a $95 annual fee. We ranked every card in our database against Spotify 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.

Chase Sapphire Preferred Card earns 5.4¢ per dollar on streaming when you shop at Spotify, the highest marginal rate in our list for this brand. At 5.4¢ per dollar, rewards cover the $95 fee after about $1,760 a year in Spotify spending. To come out ahead of U.S. Bank Cash+® Visa Signature® Card (5.0¢), you'd need about $23,750 a year here. It's the right pick if you want maximum earn rate on this category and don't mind paying for a premium card.
