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.
M&T Visa credit card with rewards
Last reviewed: February 22, 2019
A basic, no frills card with limited rewards, the M&T Visa card is a decent choice for balance-carrying cardholders who don’t mind foregoing extra benefits such as car rental insurance or price protection.
BBVA Select credit card
Last reviewed: November 13, 2019
One of our least favorite rewards credit cards, the BBVA Select credit card charges a surprisingly high three figure annual fee in exchange for mediocre rewards and limited benefits.
HSBC Platinum Mastercard with rewards
Last reviewed: February 13, 2019
With an anemic rewards rate and a middling APR, the HSBC Mastercard ranks near the bottom of our list of travel cards. This offer is no longer available on our site.

One of the best rewards cards available for on-the-go cardholders who plan to carry a balance, the NFCU Go Rewards card offers a solid spending bonus on gas and restaurant purchases and a reasonably priced APR.

The Stash Hotel Rewards Visa card bolsters its rewards rate by allowing you to earn bonus points on dining, gas and outside hotel purchases, though the redemption options are limited to free nights at Stash’s small network of boutique hotels.
Disney Visa card from Chase
Last reviewed: November 12, 2019
Though the Disney Visa card shines on Disney theme park perks and discounts, its rewards program leaves much to be desired.
USAA Rewards American Express Card
Last reviewed: December 2, 2019
The USAA Rewards American Express Card offers a fair amount of points on dining out, gas and grocery store purchases, but beware of its APR, which can run very high.
DCU Visa Platinum Rewards credit card
Last reviewed: November 13, 2019
This plain vanilla rewards card offers a low APR and standard benefits, such as travel insurance and extended warranty; but its bare bones rewards program won’t get you very far if you’re looking to quickly earn premier rewards.

Last reviewed: February 13, 2019
A great card for large families, the AeroMexico Visa Signature card pairs a budget-friendly rewards program with family-friendly perks, including a $99 companion ticket and a free fourth ticket when you buy three tickets on the same flight.
