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.
Club Carlson Rewards Visa Signature card
Last reviewed: September 10, 2020
For cardholders who prefer to stay at mid-tier hotels such as Country Inn and Suites or the Radisson, the Club Carlson Rewards Visa Signature card offers a fair amount of value, including a sizable sign-up and an above average rewards rate on regular purchases. This offer is no longer available.
Citi Prestige® Card
Last reviewed: January 19, 2021
Though the updates to the newly relaunched Citi Prestige card are a mixed bag, the card is still a strong choice for a luxury travel card.
Discover it® Miles
Last reviewed: January 6, 2021
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.
Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard
Last reviewed: September 10, 2020
This premium airline card offers a hefty sign-up bonus in the first year and attractive perks, such as a companion discount, but it comes with a high annual fee. This offer is no longer available on our site.
U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve Card
Last reviewed: January 15, 2021
Packed with lucrative benefits, the new U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve card offers more than enough value to make up for the card’s $400 annual fee – especially if you don’t mind using your phone to make many of your purchases. This offer is no longer available on our site.
Bank of America® Premium Rewards® credit card
Last reviewed: January 5, 2021
The new Bank of America Premium Rewards credit card combines the features of a cash back card with the features of a premium travel card for a great value.
JetBlue Plus card
Last reviewed: September 11, 2020
The value of TrueBlue points is high, but the JetBlue Plus card doesn’t offer many options for redeeming those points outside of JetBlue flights and vacations, and the card is of little use to cardholders who don’t live in a city served by JetBlue Airways. This offer is no longer available.

Hilton Honors American Express Card
Last reviewed: September 25, 2020
The Hilton Honors card offers a generous number of bonus points on hotel and everyday purchases; but because Hilton’s Honors aren’t worth as much as the average credit card rewards point, cardholders need a larger number of points to purchase rewards-funded travel.
Navy Federal Credit Union Visa Signature Flagship Rewards card
Last reviewed: January 7, 2021
Navy Federal Credit Union’s Flagship Rewards card offers triple points for travel purchases and twice the points for every other purchase, making it an ideal pick for cardholders who want to rack up points without a lot of effort.
British Airways Visa Signature® Card
Last reviewed: September 10, 2020
One of the best airline cards on the market, this super charged premium card offers frequent transatlantic flyers an accessible sign-up bonus that amply rewards heavy spenders, a plentiful point bonus on airfare, valuable travel perks and generously priced rewards points that are worth more than twice the average credit card rewards point.
Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard®
Last reviewed: December 8, 2020
The AAdvantage Executive World Elite Mastercard offers a host of great airline benefits and a large sign-up bonus with a spending requirement that — unfortunately — puts it out of reach of most cardholders.
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless™ Credit Card
Last reviewed: October 29, 2020
Though Marriott rewards points are a bit inflated, the new Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card is a good value, offering a generous intro bonus along with many other benefits.
