Hotel credits on credit cards

Hotel credits knock dollars off hotel bookings, usually through the issuer's own travel portal. They are typically annual, which makes them the easiest big credit to forget — one booking a year, or it vanishes.

Cards with hotel credits offer up to $600/yr each, totaling $4,450/yr across 18 credits in our catalog.
