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.

British Airways Visa Signature® Card  review

British Airways Visa Signature® Card

4.1 rating

One of the best airline cards on the market, this super charged premium card offers frequent transatlantic flyers an accessible sign-up bonus that amply rewards heavy spenders, a plentiful point bonus on airfare, valuable travel perks and generously priced rewards points that are worth more than twice the average credit card rewards point.

Instacart Mastercard® review

Instacart Mastercard®

4.1 rating

If you’re already an avid Instacart user, this card could be hugely rewarding thanks to its impressive rewards rate, broad category coverage and generous first-year bonus. If you only use the service occasionally, though, you may be better off with a general grocery rewards card.

The information about the Instacart Mastercard® has been collected independently by Bankrate.com. The issuer did not provide the content, nor is it responsible for its accuracy.

Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card

4.1 rating

It lacks the heft of most elite airline cards, but for loyal Southwest flyers, this card offers enough value to justify its higher fee.

Citi Double Cash® Card review

Citi Double Cash® Card

4.1 rating

If you regularly pay off your card in full each month, it’s hard to beat the cash back rewards on the Citi Double Cash card: It offers 2% cash back (1% when you buy and an additional 1% as you make payments for those purchases), making it an ideal card for purchases that don’t qualify for larger bonuses.
