Our Verdict

Thanks to the internet, and in particular, Instagram, travel hacking is all the rage. With bloggers stealing headlines for snagging free around-the-world flights with miles, it might seem like the points game is just for the most frequent of flyers.

Guess again. If you have a decent credit score, you too can snag free flights and upgrades.

Now, a word to the wise. Travel rewards cards come with hefty fees and high rates. If you’re bad at paying bills on time or often carry a monthly balance, a travel rewards card may not be for you.

Here’s our guide to the best travel rewards cards for your particular spending habits and travel interests. Note that specific deals often change seasonally, so make sure to confirm specific rates, rewards and other terms before selecting your card.

10 Best Travel Rewards Credit Cards

Conclusion

Whatever card piques your interest, make sure to do your research and double check the fine print. A big part of the rewards game is deciding which card will offer the biggest benefit to you personally. That means you should consider not only how much you spend on travel, but also where you go and how you get there.
