44
+ The merchant directory grows from 399 to 640 entries (241 added), so each gets its own `/best/<store>` page. Names come from [NRF's 2025 Top 100 Retailers](https://nrf.com/research-insights/top-retailers/top-100-retailers/top-100-retailers-2025-list), the issuers' own merchant lists below, and well-known regional and national chains in each category; no merchant data was copied from another directory. No card rules or rates changed.
45
+
46
+ Categories follow the issuers' definitions, read 2026-11-04: [Chase's rewards category FAQ](https://www.chase.com/personal/credit-cards/rewards-category-faq), [Amex's retail category terms](https://www.americanexpress.com/us/content/rewards-info/retail.html) and [U.S. Bank's Cash+ sample merchants](https://cashplus.usbank.com/cash-plus/samplemerchants). Merchants that code unexpectedly are in `overrides.yaml` with a note.
47
+
48
+ Amazon Prime Video moves to `overrides.yaml`: "Amazon Prime Video" used to match Amazon itself, because overrides are searched first and "Amazon" starts the name. The integrity check now resolves every merchant name, alias and domain and fails if it finds another merchant, and fails if a category word ("coffee", "gas") resolves to a merchant.

87
+ A `color` for every card (its card face's main color, roughly) and every issuer, for earnrate's own drawings of cards on earnrate.dev; never the issuer's card art. Display only; no rates changed.
88

89

90

91
+ Short names (`short_name`, at most 24 characters) for the 35 cards whose names are too long for one line of the Apple Wallet pass, like "AAdvantage Platinum" and "BofA Customized Cash". Display only; no rates changed.

93
+ ## 2026.11.04.1
94
+
95
+ The parent `grocery` category reads "grocery stores" in sentences ("bonus at grocery stores, restaurants and American Red Cross"); its search page stays at /best/grocery. No rates changed.
96

97

98
+
99
+ Eleven new cards, each from the issuer's own pages: Ink Business Unlimited and Freedom Rise (Chase); Business Gold and Business Platinum (Amex); Unlimited Cash Rewards, Travel Rewards and Premium Rewards (Bank of America, with the BofA Rewards tiers as on Customized Cash Rewards); Altitude Go and Altitude Connect (U.S. Bank); Autograph Journey (Wells Fargo); and Citi Strata. New currencies: Bank of America Travel Rewards points (1¢ as a travel and dining statement credit, 0.6¢ as cash), Bank of America Premium Rewards points (1¢) and U.S. Bank Altitude points (1¢), each at the issuer's own redemption rate. New merchants: Bank of America Travel Center, and prepaid hotels and car rentals through the U.S. Bank Travel Center. Apple Card, Amex Green and Capital One SavorOne weren't added: Apple Card's 1% rate is stated only in a PDF agreement and its 2% needs Apple Pay, which earnrate can't see; Amex no longer lists Green; SavorOne's page now redirects to Savor, already on file.
