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.

Menards BIG credit card
Last reviewed: November 15, 2023
Despite the retailer’s catchy jingle, even the biggest home improvement enthusiasts are unlikely to save big money with the Menards BIG credit card.
Kohl's Card
Last reviewed: April 7, 2025
Despite a paltry points system, regular Kohl’s customers can still save a considerable amount of money with the Kohl’s Card – but a steep APR puts cardholders at risk of having interest charges eat into their rewards and discounts.
Old Navy Visa card
Last reviewed: November 15, 2023
Fans of value-priced yet stylish clothes have the most to gain from the Old Navy Visa card, but the card’s paltry rewards on purchases outside of Gap Inc. stores leave much to be desired.

Bank of the West Premier World Mastercard
Last reviewed: November 16, 2018
A good card for frequent travelers, the Bank of the West Premier World Mastercard offers a solid bonus on travel and restaurant purchases; but to avoid paying an annual fee, you need to have a Bank of the West checking account. This offer is no longer available.
Popular Community Bank Platinum Xtra card
Last reviewed: November 16, 2017
For $24 a year, the Popular Community Bank Platinum XTRA card offers a solid rewards rate and a decent return on spending, but restrictions and redemption fees drag down its overall value. This offer is no longer available.

The Uber Visa Card offers a compelling rewards rate on Uber purchase, but its inflexible redemption scheme severely limits its appeal. This card offer is no longer available.
Barclays Arrival Premier World Elite Mastercard
Last reviewed: January 20, 2026
The Barclays Arrival Premier World Elite Mastercard lacks a sign-up bonus and — compared to similar rewards cards — the spending threshold to unlock its full annual bonus is steep; however, if you use it as your go-to card, the rewards could really add up over time. This offer is no longer available.
HSBC Platinum Mastercard with rewards
Last reviewed: September 10, 2020
With an anemic rewards rate and a middling APR, the HSBC Mastercard ranks near the bottom of our list of travel cards. This offer is no longer available.
Citi ThankYou Preferred Card
Last reviewed: July 2, 2025
A good card for night owls and weekend adventurers, the Citi ThankYou Preferred card sets itself apart by offering bonus points on a wide variety of dining and entertainment purchases; however, it doesn’t offer much value for everyday purchases, such as gas or groceries, and it doesn’t offer any kind of sign-up bonus. This offer is no longer available.
