There are so many different rewards programs out there, and they are all different. If you look around, you'll find that one of them is sure to be the best one for you. Some things to look for in a rewards program include: how do you earn rewards? Will you get points or credits for every purchase you make or just ones from a specific retailer? How easy is it to redeem rewards? If you earn thousands of points, but redeeming them is a hassle, you may not even bother, making the card essentially just a credit card, with no rewards component. Find a travel card that gives you flexibility in reward options, easy redemptions, and plenty of opportunities to earn rewards, and you'll have found a great new addition to your wallet.
For example, the Discover it® Miles credit card may be a good choice. There are 1.5 miles on all purchases, so you can purchase almost anything and still get rewards. If you do a lot of shopping, the rewards will pile up very fast. More than that, Discover awards its loyal customers. Instead of an impersonal sign-up bonus that other cards give you, Discover offers a welcome bonus which shows that all is in your hands. All miles that you've earned by the end of the first year are matched for new cardmembers. The more you earn, the more you'll receive. For example, 35,000 earned miles will give you 70,000 miles in total. That's $700 towards travel! If you put all your spendings onto Discover, you can easily beat the sign-up bonuses on most cards.
