Reward Cards
There are basically two types of credit cards. The first type offers points or miles that can be used to offset travel expenses. The second type is specific to airlines and hotels. Look for cards that offer signup bonuses, free airline tickets  and/or hotel stays. 

Credit card terms change frequently.  

Please check the issuers' websites for current offers, 0% APR terms, balance transfer fees and points / miles expiration guidelines before applying. We are not responsible for changes in credit card terms and offers.
