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.
Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard
Last reviewed: November 19, 2018
With the highest general rewards rate on the market, the Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard offers a winning combination of value, flexibility and valuable travel perks.
Stash Hotel Rewards Visa card
Last reviewed: October 30, 2018
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.
Navy Federal Credit Union Visa Signature Flagship Rewards card
Last reviewed: November 15, 2018
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.
Disney Rewards Visa card from Chase
Last reviewed: October 26, 2018
Though the Disney Rewards Visa card shines on Disney theme park perks and discounts, its rewards program leaves much to be desired.
M&T Visa credit card with rewards
Last reviewed: October 29, 2018
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.
USAA Rewards American Express Card
Last reviewed: November 15, 2018
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.
Regions Prestige Visa Signature credit card
Last reviewed: November 9, 2018
There’s not much to recommend this low-earning rewards card besides a few small bonuses for signing up for Regions Bank services.
Regions Visa Signature Premium credit card
Last reviewed: November 16, 2018
The Regions Visa Signature Premium card offers a unique rewards scheme for Regions Bank customers, but its limited perks and mediocre points value make its high annual fee hard to justify.
HSBC Platinum Mastercard with rewards
Last reviewed: November 16, 2018
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.
JetBlue card
Last reviewed: November 16, 2018
The JetBlue card offers a fair rewards rate for frequent JetBlue travelers, and it’s the rare airline card without an annual fee. This offer is no longer available through our site.
DCU Visa Platinum Rewards credit card
Last reviewed: November 27, 2018
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.
Korean Air SKYPASS Visa Signature card
Last reviewed: November 9, 2018
With an average sign-up bonus and a low rewards rate, the SKYPASS Visa Signature card is not a great choice for many cardholders; but frequent travelers to South Korea can eke some good values out of it.
