Rewards and points credit card guide

How would you like to get something back every time you spend on your credit card? It sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? But a reward credit card literally rewards you for spending.

Earn points when you spend

There are various different types of reward credit card but you commonly earn points every time you spend on the card. So, you might earn one reward point for every pound £1 you spend. When you have earned 100 points, you could be entitled to a reward worth £1. In other words, you spend £100 and get back £1.

The points can normally be exchanged for shopping vouchers or discounts in retail or entertainment outlets. Some cards even allow you to collect points to put towards the cost of flights.

How to cash in your reward

Some cards offer different rewards depending on where you spend in order to promote shopper loyalty. For example, you might earn one point for every £1 you spend in a particular store, but one point for every £2 spent at other retailers. There are usually restrictions on how you cash in your reward, too. Some cards, for example, only allow you to redeem points against purchases in one particular store, or in a limited number of outlets.

Clear your debts in full

The interest rates on reward and points credit cards are not normally particularly competitive. These cards are therefore only really suited to people who can afford to clear their balance in full every month. If you allow debts to build up, you will almost certainly pay more in interest than you will get back in rewards.

You should also look carefully at the terms and conditions of reward cards. After all, if you are not a frequent flyer, why bother collecting points towards flights? And if you aren’t a regular shopper, a reward card might not be the best choice.

There is also little to be gained by transferring a balance to a reward card as you normally only earn rewards when you spend on the card.

Multiple reward cards

Some people prefer the flexibility of cashback cards, which give you cash back every time you spend. Of course, there is no reason why you shouldn’t take out multiple cards to make full use of all the different types of reward – as long as you can keep track so that your debts are always under control.

Compare reward and points credit cards

MoneySupermarket’s free independent comparison service makes it quick and easy to compare reward credit cards and find the best deal. We have details of all the top offers to help you make an informed choice and make the most of any rewards.  

Your personalised chance of approval

We’ve taken the details you gave, and used them to show you personalised scores to tell you the chance that your application for each card would be successful.

Why is this important?

Every time you apply for a credit card, a mark is left on your credit score. That means it’s better to get it right first time. Your scores help you understand which cards you have the strongest chance of getting.

It's easy!

The higher the score, the stronger chance you have of getting the card. If you see a very low score, you’ve probably better off choosing a different card.

If you see a high score, you can be fairly confident. The scores aren’t a guarantee, as acceptance of your application is at the sole discretion of the card issuer, but they should help guide your choice.

Not rated

In some cases, we will not be able to display a score for a product because we do not have enough information about the card issuer’s acceptance criteria or we have not been able to match your details at the credit bureau.

We work closely with our partners to improve our eligibility scores for all products that are of interest to you.
