Rewards Credit Cards - Reviews

Credit card rewards come in many forms — from miles to cash back to points — that can redeemed for a variety of goodies. Some cards offer large sign-up bonuses, others offer extra earnings on bonus categories. Some cards charge annual fees. All these differences can make it difficult to compare.

We’ve created a rating system to cut through the complicated details and compare cards on a similar basis. Our ratings take into account the estimated value of their rewards, the ease of redeeming rewards and special perks and benefits. Check out the offers below from our partners.

Though this card may make sense for big Disney fans, its middling rewards rates and flexibility make its annual fee hard to justify for the average person.

American Express Everyday Preferred card

3.2 rating

The American Express EveryDay Preferred card can be a great choice for frequent users and families who spend a lot on gas and at U.S. supermarkets, but a high annual fee and an onerous requirement to reap the card’s full rewards rate diminish its overall appeal. This offer is no longer available on our site.

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.
