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.

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.

Credit One Bank® Wander™ Card With No Annual Fee

2.3 rating

Though it charges no annual fee and offers a decent rewards rate in niche categories like recreational purchases and amusement parks, this version of the Credit One Wander card falls flat compared to the typical travel rewards card.

Lowe's Advantage Credit Card review

Lowe's Advantage Credit Card

2.3 rating

Frequent Lowe’s shoppers will love the card’s automatic discount and special financing offers, but those who rarely visit the home improvement store would be far better served by a general-purpose rewards card with a much lower APR.

BJ's Perks Elite MasterCard

2.3 rating

The BJ’s Perks Elite MasterCard gives current BJ’s members a chance to save big on everyday purchases, but others who don’t already frequent BJ’s or a similar warehouse club should factor in the $100 cost of club membership when deciding whether or not the card is worth it.

USAA® Preferred Cash Rewards Visa Signature® Card review

USAA® Preferred Cash Rewards Visa Signature® Card

2.3 rating

The USAA Preferred Cash Rewards Visa Signature Card offers a high flat rate of 1.5 percent cash back, but, with no sign-up bonus, 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.

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.

2.2 rating

Cardholders seeking to earn Asia Miles are probably better off skipping the Asia Pacific Visa Signature card and sticking with a general rewards card that allows point transfer to the Asia Miles program.

State Farm Rewards Visa

2.1 rating

The State Farm Rewards Visa encourages responsibility by making it easy for cardholders to put their rewards toward a mortgage or insurance payment, but its lackluster rewards scheme falls short of its competitors.

Meijer Platinum MasterCard review

Meijer Platinum MasterCard

2.1 rating

The Meijer Platinum MasterCard offers considerable savings on supermarket and gas purchases, but anyone who lives outside of the chain’s six-state territory is better served with a general rewards or cash back card.
