I'm interested in a Visa credit card that gives good rewards.

Q:  I'm interested in a Visa credit card that gives good rewards.

A: Well, you've come to the right place.  If you're looking for a cash back Visa reward card, Chase Freedom® Visa – $200 Bonus Cash Back is a great choice.  Users get a hefty $200 cash back after they spend $500 in the first 3 months.  Plus they also earn 5% cash back in rotating categories and 1% unlimited cash back on all other purchases.

If a travel rewards card is more your style, take a gander at the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards® Premier card.  Users earn 2 free Southwest Airline tickets after their very first purchase.  In additional they earn 2 points per $1 spent on all Southwest Airline, Southwest Hotel and Car Rental Partner purchases and 1 point per $1 spent on everything else.  The points you earn can be used on free Southwest flights, hotel stays, rental cars and a variety of other options.  Although there is a $99 annual fee, if you are a Southwest frequent flyer this card makes a lot of sense.

If you're willing to look outside the Visa brand, AmEx has several highly rated reward cards including the Starwood Preferred Guest® Card and the TrueEarnings® Card from Costco and American Express. Both of these cards offer generous rewards.  Or, take a look at all our Reward Credit Card Reviews and choose the best match for you.
