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.
Wells Fargo Autograph® Card
Last reviewed: September 11, 2025
This card offers solid everyday rewards in a terrific mix of spending categories, but it may not be the best fit for frequent travelers looking for flexible rewards.
Wyndham Rewards Earner® Card
Last reviewed: November 3, 2025
This card can offer great value for occasional travelers who prefer to stay at Wyndham hotels, especially via its high rewards rate on gas and generous anniversary bonus (a perk that’s hard to come by on a no-annual- fee hotel card).

Last reviewed: October 24, 2025
The IHG One Rewards Traveler card is a decent card for IHG loyalists, but it doesn’t offer much in the way of perks.
Discover it® Miles
Last reviewed: October 6, 2025
The Discover it® Miles card offers a range of high-end travel perks and an industry-leading rewards rate for the card’s first 12 months, but the benefits drop off significantly after the first year.

Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card
Last reviewed: October 30, 2025
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.
