Best credit card to use at YouTube TV.
Streaming
YouTube TV is Google's live-TV streaming service, bundling broadcast and cable channels with cloud DVR as a cord-cutting alternative. The monthly bill codes as streaming, so a card with a streaming category bonus earns at the elevated rate. Given the subscription has climbed in price over the years, putting it on a streaming-bonus card adds up across the year.
