Hotel Credit Cards

Hotel cards earn points with a specific hotel loyalty program and often include automatic elite status or anniversary free-night certificates. They work best for travelers who already stay with one hotel family, since points are most valuable when redeemed within that program.

What to look for

  • Free-night certificates: check category limits and expiration dates.
  • Elite status: automatic status can bring perks such as late checkout and room upgrades.
  • Point value: hotel points are typically worth less per point than airline miles, so compare by value, not count.
