Four Favorite Rewards Cards
Credit card rewards are often offset by high fees. That's why we analyzed all the potential perks- from rebates on gas and
groceries to VIP passes.
VIP Programs
The best have an army of agents on call to assit with your most pressing needs.
Visa Signature - Every VIP program offers unique luxury packages, but the exceptional conierge service sets this one
apart. Call 24 hours a day to reserve tables, score sold-out tickets, or book travel. Less-luxurious perks stand out,
too, like reimbursements for lost or stolen luggage up to $3,000.
Reward points
Browse the available rewards for a card, pick serveral you like, and calculate their actual value with theis equation:
dollar value of reward \ points x 100. If the result is less than 1, you'd be better off using a cash-back card.
If a card company doesn't make the reward values available, its a sign that its points are grossly inflated.
Citi Simplicity Rewards - This entry-level card out performs higher-status cards by returning five points to the dollar
at gas stations and drugstores for a year, plus a $100 gift card after your first purchase.
