Rewards card reviews

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.

Hilton Honors American Express Card review

Hilton Honors American Express Card

4.4 rating

The Hilton Honors card offers a generous number of bonus points on hotel and everyday purchases; but because Hilton’s Honors points aren’t worth as much as the average credit card rewards point, cardholders need a larger number of points to purchase rewards-funded travel.

4.4 rating

The Bank of America Customized Cash Rewards card offers an exceptional rewards rate on a category of the user’s choice, allowing increased flexibility. But a $2,500 combined spending cap on bonus category rewards limits how much cardholders can earn.

The New United Club℠ Card

4.3 rating

Frequent flyers looking to earn United miles and enjoy premium perks can get a lot of value out of this card thanks to its impressive rewards rate. That said, the annual fee will be hard to justify if you’re not a die-hard United fan.

Prime Visa review

Prime Visa

4.3 rating

The Prime Visa card offers a great rewards rate on Amazon and Whole Food purchases, but Prime membership requires a high fee, so the card only makes sense if you’re already an Amazon fan.
