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.
Barclay Choice Privileges Visa Signature card
Last reviewed: February 12, 2019
A good choice for cardholders who want an easy way to earn free travel, but don’t want to pay an annual fee, the Choice Privileges Visa Signature card offers a large enough sign-up bonus to fund several nights at a budget-friendly Choice hotel, such as Comfort Inn, and an above average rewards rate on regular purchases.

Citi / AAdvantage Executive World Elite Mastercard
Last reviewed: April 1, 2019
The Aadvantage Excecutive 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. This offer is no longer available on our site.
TD Aeroplan Visa credit card
Last reviewed: February 13, 2019
You won’t have trouble earning a free flight in your first year with this premium airline card: The TD AeroPlan Visa Signature card offers a substantial sign-up bonus in the card’s first year; but you’ll have to fly to Canada often after the card’s first year to make up for its pricey annual fee.

Drury Gold Key Club credit card
Last reviewed: February 13, 2019
The Drury Gold Key Club card offers frequent Drury guests a generous point bonus on hotel stays, a decent APR and a good sign-up bonus in the card’s first year, but you may not get much use out of the card if you don’t travel relatively frequently.
SunTrust Travel Rewards card
Last reviewed: February 22, 2019
With a low APR and a triple point bonus on airfare, hotels and car rental purchases, this is a good card to use for travel; however, don’t count on using it for everyday purchases since you won’t get much value out of the card once you return home.
State Farm Rewards Visa
Last reviewed: November 16, 2018
The State Farm Rewards Visa encourages responsibility by making it easy for cardholders to put their rewards toward a mortgage or insurance payment, but its lackluster rewards scheme falls short of its competitors.
TD First Class Visa Signature credit card
Last reviewed: February 13, 2019
The TD First Class Visa Signature card offers an accessible sign-up bonus and triple points on dining and travel, but its below-average rewards rate makes it hard to justify the high annual fee.
