Many credit cards offer great rewards for customers that help them get deals on flights and hotels around the world. One thing I learned is credit cards with the best rewards are usually hard to be approved for. Some credit cards offer you more perks than others, so it is important ‘shop around‘ before signing up for a credit card. Keep in mind that, initially you might not get the best rewards card and have to settle for a card with less rewards. On the bright side you can use this phase to build your credit history and become a candidate for the credit cards with better perks later on!

Below are a list of credit cards which offer some of the best travel rewards, so you can decide which credit cards is best for your travels.
