Manage episode 326263046 series 3337684
When used wisely, travel credit cards can open a world of possibilities for those with a case of wanderlust. But earning and redeeming points and miles can be complicated, and getting the most value from your card isn’t always obvious. If you’re not an expert, don’t worry; we’ve got your back. Here’s how to maximize your travel credit card rewards.

Make Sure You Have the Right Cards
First things first: Make sure the cards in your wallet fit your spending habits and travel preferences. If you have to drastically overhaul how you shop and travel just to earn rewards, you’re not using travel cards strategically. Use what works for you.
If you’re loyal to a specific airline or hotel chain, a branded travel card may be valuable. For example, a Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard card can help you earn lots of miles on American Airlines flights, and then you can redeem those for more American flights later.
Or, if you prefer shopping around for the best travel deals, get a flexible travel rewards card like the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card or the Capital One Venture Rewards Card. General travel cards like these reward more of your purchases and the points can be redeemed for more types of travel (e.g., not just flights, but also hotels, rental cars, and cruises).
You may even want a combination of a branded travel card (or two) and a more general rewards card. It all comes down to making sure your cards fit your lifestyle.
Here are major travel rewards programs that offer additional earning and redemption opportunities on at least some cards:
- Chase Ultimate Rewards
- Capital One rewards
- American Airlines AAdvantage
- Hilton Honors
- Marriott Bonvoy
- United MileagePlus
- Southwest Rapid Rewards
- Delta SkyMiles
