What other rewards are available?

In addition to credit cards that reward purchases with airline miles, there are many cards that offer cash back or a variety of other awards. With a cash back rewards card, you receive a percentage of your charges back in either a check or money taken off your next month's bill. Another type of rewards card lets you earn "points" which can be redeemed for various items. Some rewards cards offer discounts at certain hotels, restaurants, stores, or gas stations. These types of rewards cards also tend to charge annual fees and higher interest rates.
