Software subscriptions rarely land in a bonus category, so the goal is a solid always-on rate: a flat 2 percent card or a Customized Cash set to online shopping at 3 percent if the charge codes as online retail. Prepaying the annual plan trims the price further and concentrates the charge for bonus-spend windows.
