Rewards Credit Cards

Rewards credit cards give you either money back as a small percentage of your purchases, or give you some sort of "points" that you can redeem for gifts from their catalog. This is actually more of a category of credit cards rather than one specific type. The links you find here will take you to more specific information about the many different types of rewards cards -- and there are many.

By shopping around for the best type of rewards card for you, you can maximize the benefits you get from the card. Shopping for such a card involves looking at a large number of websites and discovering what types of rewards each card provides.

The types we recommend as the best are:

Airline Miles Cards - these are rewards credit cards that give you points towards a future upgrade from business to first class or free airfare once you have accumulated enough of their points by shopping at particular merchants or purchasing your airline tickets with the card.
Cash Back Cards - these are rewards credit cards that simply refund a small percentage of certain types of purchases to you on your monthly statement.
Automotive Discount Cards - these are rewards credit cards that give you "discount points" towards the purchase of your next car from a particular company. Buy enough stuff from qualified merchants and you can save quite a bit on your next car.
