Verdict
Our Pick: Chase Freedom Flex
With a 4.6/5 rating, the Chase Freedom Flex edges out the Capital One Quicksilver Cash Rewards (4.3/5). No annual fee makes it easy to justify. The Chase Freedom Flex combines rotating 5% categories with permanent 3% on dining and drugstores. It's a no-fee powerhouse that pairs with Sapphire cards to unlock travel transfer partners.
