When you have the opportunity to get rewarded for spending money, why waste it? That’s right, many popular banks and credit institutions offer reward points-based credit cards to help you get your money back on purchases.

Among the different types of reward cards are hotel cards that offer multiple ways to earn some of your money spent on travel and dining. For every dollar spent, you can earn points that can be directly redeemed for eligible purchases with the hotel. Free night stays and complimentary upgrades are among some of the perks cardholders enjoy.

If you are a frequent traveler and spend a lot of time staying at the same hotel, you can earn some of that money back with a special hotel credit card.
