# Best Groceries Cards with High Limits

Groceries are one of the largest everyday expenses, so a card that rewards them can add up. The details that decide how much you earn are which stores count as "groceries" and whether the bonus rate has a cap. Credit limits are set by the issuer for each applicant, so we do not quote typical limits.

Which Stores Count?

A card's grocery category normally covers supermarkets. It may exclude:

• Superstores such as big-box retailers
• Warehouse clubs
• Delivery services and meal kits (some card issuers treat these differently)

Read the card terms rather than assuming. If you do most of your shopping at a store that might be excluded, a flat-rate card may earn more.

Worked Illustration

At $600 a month ($7,200 a year) on groceries:

• A card paying 6% on the first $6,000 a year, then 1%, earns $360 + $12 = $372.
• A card paying 3% with no cap earns $216.
• A flat 1.5% card earns $108.

The capped card wins until you outgrow the cap, so check how large your own grocery spending is. (Rates and caps are illustrative, not offers.)

Other Things to Compare

• The annual fee (a fee must be earned back by the bonus rate)
• Whether the bonus resets monthly, quarterly or yearly
• Rewards on other everyday categories like gas or transit
• Whether the bonus rate applies to online grocery orders
• The standard APR (pay in full to avoid interest)

A Tip for Large Grocery Bills

Large shops are where limits matter. A single large purchase can use a big share of a small limit. Keeping your balance low relative to your limit generally helps your credit score, so pay the balance after each shopping trip if you can.
