What to compare
- Ongoing APR
- Foreign transaction and other fees
- Rewards you can use
- Whether benefits depend on specific spending
Trade-offs to notice

- Rewards or benefits may be more limited.
- Carrying a balance can still be costly.
A practical next step
Review the full fee table and APR, not only the annual-fee line.
