Put the same $600 on a flat 2% cash-back card and you get $12 — but that $12 spends anywhere. That gap, and the strings attached to the larger number, is the whole decision. The American Eagle card earns far more <em>at American Eagle</em>; a general rewards card earns less per dollar but never tells you where to spend it. Which one earns more depends entirely on how much of your year runs through AE and Aerie.</p>
