Travel Credit Cards - Reviews
We've reviewed a variety of hotel, airline and general rewards cards to determine which cards offer the most worth. Our ratings consider not only the monetary value rewards and sign-up bonuses, but also the ease of the redemption and the total value of each card's features. Our goal is to help you find a well-rounded card that offers large earnings and lets you redeem those earnings for travel rewards and perks that are truly valuable.
Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Credit Card
Last reviewed: January 23, 2020
If you frequently fly Southwest, it’s worth upgrading to this high value airline card, despite its $99 annual fee: It offers one of the best sign-up bonuses on the market and its rewards points are worth substantially more than the average credit card rewards point.
Alaska Airlines Visa Signature credit card
Last reviewed: December 2, 2019
A good deal for budget-conscious West Coast residents who frequently fly Alaska Air, the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature card pairs a generous sign up bonus and valuable rewards program with one of the lowest APRs available on a travel card.
United Explorer Card
Last reviewed: January 23, 2020
With a generous 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 $95 annual fee.
Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express
Last reviewed: November 13, 2019
Gold Delta Skymiles points are worth more than the average credit card rewards point, making this airline card’s rewards program an attractive choice for cardholders who want to quickly earn a free flight on a major carrier.
Citi Premier Card
Last reviewed: December 12, 2019
The Citi Premier card offers a generous travel rewards program, but its meager airline transfer options limit its appeal. This offer is no longer available.

Blue Delta SkyMiles card from American Express
Last reviewed: January 6, 2020
You can earn miles at a fairly high rate with this no-annual-fee airline card, but you can find several flexible travel cards — and even a few cash back cards — that offer more flexible and more valuable rewards.
Best Western Rewards MasterCard
Last reviewed: February 14, 2019
The Best Western Rewards MasterCard offers frequent hotel guests a decent number of bonus points on hotel stays; but its modest sign-up bonus and skimpy rewards on non-hotel purchases limit its appeal.
Sun Country Airlines Visa Signature card
Last reviewed: November 13, 2019
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.
United MileagePlus Club Card
Last reviewed: January 14, 2020
Cardholders who aren’t specifically looking for a United Club membership will find a plethora of rewards cards with better perks and much lower annual fees than the United MileagePlus Club Card. This offer is no longer available on our site.
KeyBank Key2More Rewards credit card
Last reviewed: November 14, 2019
With an expensive balance transfer fee and a stingy 6-month introductory promotion, this overrated rewards card ranks low on our list of balance transfer cards.
