Travel Credit Cards

Travel credit cards allow you to earn points or miles that you can redeem for travel purchases, as simple as that. Some offer a fixed rate of return on general investments, but others provide bonus rewards for travel purchases or categories of travel spending like dining, gas, or even groceries.

When redeeming your miles or points for travel, your redemption options will vary by card. Most travel credit cards stipulate that you can redeem points or miles only for travel purchases, while others allow you to save them for benefits such as cashback.
