Rewards card reviews

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.

Citi Double Cash® Card review

Citi Double Cash® Card

4.1 rating

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.

Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card review

Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card

4.1 rating

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.

Instacart Mastercard® review

Instacart Mastercard®

4.1 rating

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.
