The reward rates and the value of the credits are your own estimates. Points are worth what you can actually redeem them for, which is often less than the headline figure. Interest is left out: if a balance is carried, the interest is usually far larger than any reward. Sign-up bonuses are left out because they are paid once. An estimate, not financial advice.
