Credit Card Rewards Blog

189 published guides on credit card rewards: welcome bonuses, statement credits, transfer bonuses, award sweet spots and the trips we actually take on points. Every number is checked against the issuer's or program's own page and stamped with the date we read it, and an article that has gone out of date says so at the top rather than being quietly deleted.

Start with the newest ten below, or jump into a topic hub. Each hub opens with a short explanation and lists its guides, newest first.

Chase Ecosystem Guide

Chase's Sapphire, Freedom, and Ink cards are built to work together: Freedom and Ink cards earn cash back or points at a flat rate, and pairing one with a Sapphire card turns that into transferable Ultimate Rewards points worth more toward travel. Here's how the trifecta works, plus every guide on individual Chase cards.

Transfer Partners & Bonuses

Moving points to an airline or hotel partner is usually worth more than redeeming for cash back or a flat travel credit — and transfer bonuses (a temporary boost like an extra 25% or 30% points) make the math even better.
