Rewards card reviews

Rewards Credit Cards - Reviews

Credit card rewards come in many forms — from miles to cash back to points — that can redeemed for a variety of goodies. Some cards offer large sign-up bonuses, others offer extra earnings on bonus categories. Some cards charge annual fees. All these differences can make it difficult to compare.

We’ve created a rating system to cut through the complicated details and compare cards on a similar basis. Our ratings take into account the estimated value of their rewards, the ease of redeeming rewards and special perks and benefits. Check out the offers below from our partners.

Mastercard® Black Card™ review

Mastercard® Black Card™

2.5 rating

With a $495 annual fee, the Mastercard Black Card is one of the priciest cards in its class, and comes with travel benefits that don’t hold up to other luxury cards.

Cabela's CLUB Mastercard credit card review

Cabela's CLUB Mastercard credit card

2.4 rating

Though longtime Cabela’s fans might be persuaded to sign up for the store’s branded credit card, they’re probably better served in sticking with its free Outdoor Rewards loyalty program instead.

BBVA Select credit card

2.4 rating

One of our least favorite rewards credit cards, the BBVA Select credit card charges a surprisingly high three figure annual fee in exchange for mediocre rewards and limited benefits.

USAA Cash Rewards® American Express® Card review

USAA Cash Rewards® American Express® Card

2.4 rating

The USAA Rewards American Express Card offers a fair amount of points on dining out, gas and grocery store purchases, but beware of its APR, which can run very high. This offer is no longer available on our site.

Expedia®+ Card from Citi review

Expedia®+ Card from Citi

2.4 rating

Fans of discount travel sites would probably be better served by a general rewards card in lieu of the Expedia+ Card, due to its low rewards rate and litany of restrictions on redeeming rewards points. This offer is no longer available on our site.

M&T Visa credit card with rewards

2.4 rating

A basic, no frills card with limited rewards, the M&T Visa card is a decent choice for balance-carrying cardholders who don’t mind foregoing extra benefits such as car rental insurance or price protection.

USAA Preferred Cash Rewards Credit Card review

USAA Preferred Cash Rewards Credit Card

2.3 rating

The USAA Preferred Cash Rewards Visa Signature Card offers a high flat rate of 1.5 percent cash back, and a fairly average sign-up bonus, so there isn’t much to distinguish it from the rabble of cards with similar 1.5 percent rewards rates. This offer is no longer available on our site.

Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi review

Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi

2.3 rating

The Costco Anywhere Visa excels as a card for Costco and gas purchases, though you’ll have to contend with an annual membership fee for Costco and only redeeming your cash back once a year.
