The inside scoop on rewards cards

Use rewards credit cards to get benefits for each dollar you spend, typically in the form of redeemable points. Rewards credit cards are great for people who don't carry a monthly credit card balance. When used as your primary card, a rewards credit card could quickly help you get things like that flat-screen TV or trip to Hawaii. Keep in mind that these cards generally require a good to excellent credit rating for approval and often come with a higher interest rate. If you carry a balance month-to-month, you'll probably end up paying many times over in interest what you get back in rewards. These are some of the most popular rewards credit cards from Credit Karma's partners.
