In Motley Fool Money, we describe the credit cards on a five -star scale (1 = poor, 5 = better). Our qualification criteria include rewards and introduction sacrifices of 0% APR, welcome bonds, rates and advantages such as travel credits and purchase protections.
Our best qualified credit cards have:
- High value through rewards or 0% introduction APR sacrifices
- Achored welcome bonds that compensate for annual rates
- Low annual rates or a balance transfer rate or 3%
- The main advantages, such as purchase and travel protections, without foreign transaction fees, travel credits and state updates
We combine thesis factors with a brand reputation evaluation and customer satisfaction to ensure that you get the best credit card recommendations. Our goal is Mintain a better or balanced list with best credit cards of accredited brands. The editors determine the selections of the categories ‘best for’ on this page, and a single card can be recognized in multiple categories.
The order within the lists is influenced by the compensation of the advertiser, including the highlighted locations at the top of a given list, but our product recommendations are never influenced by advertisers. Get more information about how Motley Foot Money qualifies credit cards.
