In general, I think hotel credit cards are incredibly underrated. They can offer huge perks that more offset the annual fees, and some cards even offer free nights that can get you a lot of value. While I have quite a few hotel credit cards, in this…

In this post I wanted to review the Iberia Visa Signature® Card, which is one of Chase's less known travel rewards credit cards. I realized that I've never formally reviewed this card before, so that seems long overdue. This card has only been in the…
I don't think there's a single card that has changed the premium credit card landscape like the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card did back when it was introduced in the summer of 2016. Before the Sapphire Reserve was introduced, premium cards were thought…

In addition to our in-depth reviews of individual credit cards, we’ve put some of the most popular travel rewards card head-to-head to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.
Credit card issuers are competing for wallet share, so you’ll often see similar annual fees or benefits on cards that are marketed to a certain target demographic. That doesn’t necessarily mean the cards themselves are alike, however, so in this collection of posts we set cards side-by-side so you can more easily find the credit card that is best for you. Here are the latest travel reward card comparisons as of September 2020:
