6 Best Travel Rewards Credit Cards

By Fernando Meyer | Saturday 5:16 pm

Best Travel Rewards Credit Cards

So far, I have talked about the best cashback credit cards and credit cards with good gas rewards. Another category that I haven’t touched is cards with travel rewards. The reason for leaving out travel cards is that I don’t travel much, so there’s little chance I can get the maximum benefits from using travel cards to make everyday purchases at grocery stores and gas stations. I basically stick with three cards, Chase Freedom, AMEX TrueEarning, and Fidelity 529, for everyday purchases.

As my vacation in China comes to an end, I want to take this opportunity to review some cards that are good for travel. Though I have two travel cards, I used neither to purchase my ticket because:

  1. The rewards these two cards offer for ticket purchases are no better than what I get from the American Express TrueEarnings card or Fidelity 529 College Rewards card, which gives me 2% cashback.
  2. I’d rather receive cashback than rewards points redeemable for flights or hotels.

But that’s just me. If you travel a lot, then you can still find cards dedicated to travel, which can help you rack up travel rewards faster. Following are some travel cards offering generous travel-related rewards.

CapitalOne No Hassle Miles Card
