Cards with online shopping bonuses can pay better on BarkBox renewals. Bank of America Customized Cash and U.S. Bank Cash+ both offer selectable online shopping categories worth 3 to 5 percent, and the Chase Freedom Flex sometimes features online shopping in its rotating 5 percent quarter. BarkBox also frequently appears in shopping portals like Rakuten with stacking cash back.
