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.
Mastercard Titanium Card
Last reviewed: October 25, 2018
The rewards earning rate on the Mastercard Titanium Card is low and it doesn’t offer a sign-up bonus, but cardholders can at least enjoy some of the luxury card program’s unique luxury perks at a relatively affordable $195 fee.
Mastercard Gold Card
Last reviewed: October 25, 2018
With an exorbitant annual fee and average rewards earning rate, the Mastercard Gold Card is not for the average cardholder; cardholders looking for a unique card that conveys status may, however, enjoy the card’s luxury perks.
SunTrust Cash Back credit card
Last reviewed: November 16, 2018
With a low APR and generous rewards for SunTrust bank account holders, the SunTrust Cash Back credit card is a good choice for well-heeled SunTrust customers; however, cardholders with low checking account balances won’t get nearly as much benefit.

Last reviewed: October 31, 2018
With a flat rate of 1.5 percent cash back on all your purchases, a generous sign-up bonus and a special bonus for mobile payments in the first year, the Wells Fargo Cash Wise card is especially awarding to new cardholders.
Chase Amazon.com Rewards Visa card
Last reviewed: October 26, 2018

Sun Country Airlines Visa Signature card
Last reviewed: October 29, 2018
With a low APR and generous sign-up bonus for moderate spenders, the Sun Country Airlines card is a good value for domestic travelers; but the airline’s limited flight path and restrictive redemption policy may limit its appeal.
TD Aeroplan Visa credit card
Last reviewed: October 30, 2018
You won’t have trouble earning a free flight in your first year with this premium airline card: The TD AeroPlan Visa Signature card offers a substantial sign-up bonus in the card’s first year; but you’ll have to fly to Canada often after the card’s first year to make up for its pricey annual fee.
VentureOne From Capital One
Last reviewed: December 10, 2018
The VentureOne card from Capital One is a good pick for cardholders who want rewards-funded travel, but don’t want to deal with blackout dates or complicated rewards schemes: In lieu of complicated bonuses, the card awards 1.25 miles on every purchase and it allows you to book your rewards-funded travel yourself from any website or travel agent you choose.
American Eagle Outfitters Connected Visa credit card
Last reviewed: October 30, 2018
Fans of American Eagle Outfitters and Aerie will love the opportunity to accelerate their rewards by using the Connected Visa credit card anywhere Visa is accepted.
Sears MasterCard
Last reviewed: November 1, 2018
The Sears Shop your Way MasterCard offers an exceptionally high 5-percent rewards rate on your gas purchases, making it one of the most rewarding gas cards — if you don’t mind spending your rewards at Sears or Kmart. This offer is no longer available on our site.
Wyndham Rewards Visa card
Last reviewed: November 16, 2018
The Wyndham Rewards Visa card offers an above average rewards rate on hotel and general purchases; but Wyndham points aren’t worth as much as the average card rewards point, so the hotel card’s rewards program isn’t as valuable as it seems.
