I Tested EQ vs. Neo for a Week: One Card Paid 38% More Cash Back
EQ Bank would have paid me $1.85 in cash back for my total one week spend. That still doesn't beat the $2.55 I got from Neo for spending less overall, but more on groceries and gas.

In the end, Super C was the cheapest. However, I found was that the bigger stores are very lucky that they have house brands and sales, otherwise a small independent store would have been the clear winner.
