The honest statement

Your results print here, line by line — payoff date, total interest, your yearly bleed, and the one number no card app will show you: the true rate your rewards card is really paying you. > awaiting input _

Why this number is hidden from you

01 — The apps

Rewards apps assume you pay in full

Every card optimizer compares cashback rates. None of them subtract interest — because they're built for the half of America that never carries a balance.

02 — The issuers

Your bank profits from the gap

Issuers earn more from interest than from anything else. The rewards program is the reason you keep swiping the card that's charging you 24%.

03 — The math

Interest compounds. Cashback doesn't.

3% back is a one-time credit. 24% APR charges you every month the balance survives. On a carried balance, the interest beats the rewards within weeks.
