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.
Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card
Last reviewed: September 25, 2025
This card offers a ton of ongoing value via its first-year and ongoing perks, but its high annual fee means it will only be viable if you spend a lot of time at Marriott hotels.
Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card
Last reviewed: September 4, 2025
This card’s miles are worth more than the average credit card, making this airline card’s rewards program an attractive choice for cardholders who want to earn a free flight on a major carrier quickly.
Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card
Last reviewed: September 22, 2025
It lacks the heft of most elite airline cards, but for loyal Southwest flyers, this card offers enough value to justify its higher fee.
Hilton Honors American Express Card
Last reviewed: October 1, 2025
The Hilton Honors card offers a generous number of bonus points on hotel and everyday purchases; but because Hilton’s Honors points aren’t worth as much as the average credit card rewards point, cardholders need a larger number of points to purchase rewards-funded travel.
Bank of America® Premium Rewards® credit card
Last reviewed: October 2, 2025
The Bank of America Premium Rewards credit card combines the features of a cash back card with the features of a premium travel card for a great value.

Last reviewed: October 8, 2025
Citi’s newest premium offers plenty of credits and rewards rates that can offset the annual fee, just be aware of some restrictions that apply.
Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card
Last reviewed: October 2, 2025
While its list of luxury perks is relatively short, the Delta SkyMiles Reserve American Express Card should offer great value to frequent travelers thanks to its impressive rewards rate on Delta flights.
The New United Club℠ Card
Last reviewed: October 2, 2025
Frequent flyers looking to earn United miles and enjoy premium perks can get a lot of value out of this card thanks to its impressive rewards rate. That said, the annual fee will be hard to justify if you’re not a die-hard United fan.
Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card
Last reviewed: October 1, 2025
The Hilton Honors Aspire card — though laden with great hotel perks — is probably too pricey for the average rewards cardholder.
