Getting The Most Out Of Your Rewards Credit Card

To get the most value out of a rewards credit card, you have to know how to earn points or miles in the best ways possible. A great place to start is with airline and hotel cards. Most people are familiar with how those programs work, and there aren’t a lot of cards to compare. These programs are also easiest to understand.

The sign-up bonuses on hotel cards can give you enough points for two free nights – maybe even more depending on price of the hotel. The sign-up bonuses you receive on airline cards can range between 30,000 and 50,000 miles. Another perk about these cards is that annual fees are typically waived for the first year.
