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.
Wyndham Rewards Earner® Card
Last reviewed: February 12, 2026
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).

Southwest Rapid Rewards® Premier Credit Card
Last reviewed: January 13, 2026
If you frequently fly Southwest, it’s worth upgrading to this high-value airline card, despite its $99 annual fee. It offers a generous sign-up bonus and its rewards points are worth substantially more than the average credit card rewards point.

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.
AAdvantage Aviator Red World Elite Mastercard
Last reviewed: February 19, 2021
The AAdvantage Aviator Red World Elite Mastercard is an excellent means for collecting bonus AAdvantage miles. It offers up a 60,000-mile bonus for simply paying the annual fee and making one qualifying purchase.
Power Cash Rewards Visa Signature® Card
Last reviewed: July 2, 2025
The Power Cash Rewards Visa Signature® Card awards 2 percent cash back, but only PenFed members can apply.
Instacart Mastercard®
Last reviewed: February 12, 2026
If you’re already an avid Instacart user, this card could be hugely rewarding thanks to its impressive rewards rate, broad category coverage and generous first-year bonus. If you only use the service occasionally, though, you may be better off with a general grocery rewards card.

Citi Double Cash® Card
Last reviewed: February 5, 2026
If you regularly pay off your card in full each month, it’s hard to beat the cash back rewards on the Citi Double Cash card: It offers 2% cash back (1% when you buy and an additional 1% as you make payments for those purchases), making it an ideal card for purchases that don’t qualify for larger bonuses.

United℠ Explorer Card
Last reviewed: January 30, 2026
Thanks to its solid sign-up bonus, the United Explorer Card makes it easy to earn a free flight quickly; but you’ll have to fly United often to make up for the card’s annual fee of $0 Intro Annual fee for the First Year, then $150.
IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card
Last reviewed: January 22, 2026
The IHG One Rewards Traveler card is a decent card for IHG loyalists, but it doesn’t offer much in the way of perks.
