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.
American Express Everyday Preferred card
Last reviewed: March 19, 2020
The American Express EveryDay Preferred card can be a great choice for frequent users and families who spend a lot on gas and at U.S. supermarkets, but a high annual fee and an onerous requirement to reap the card’s full rewards rate diminish its overall appeal. This offer is no longer available on our site.

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.

Wyndham Rewards Visa card
Last reviewed: November 13, 2019
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.
Barclay Choice Privileges Visa Signature card
Last reviewed: February 19, 2020
A good choice for cardholders who want an easy way to earn free travel, but don’t want to pay an annual fee, the Choice Privileges Visa Signature card offers a large enough sign-up bonus to fund several nights at a budget-friendly Choice hotel, such as Comfort Inn, and an above average rewards rate on regular purchases.

Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card
Last reviewed: March 5, 2020
For fans of Marriott hotels, the Marriott Bonvoy Bold card is a reasonable option for earning extra Marriott points and qualifying for elite status without having to pay an annual fee, though the card’s rate for earning points is measly.
Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express
Last reviewed: March 24, 2020
Despite its high annual fee, the Blue Cash Preferred card is one of our favorite cards for families: It helps take the sting out of car pool lines and long commutes by offering a generous point bonus on U.S. gas station spending and it offers one of the highest cash back bonuses you can get when you use your card at U.S. supermarkets.

Last reviewed: February 13, 2019
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.
