The credit card ratings site was one of the first to curate a Best Credit Cards list\u00a0and has more than 10 years of experience analyzing and ranking cards across multiple categories. In-house credit card experts review and analyze hundreds of cards on the market to create this\u00a0annual compilation intended to make it easier for consumers to find the card that best meets their needs and lifestyle.

Both sets of reviews have tremendous value for real-world cardholders. As experts, we can help decipher and point out the details lay people may not notice and real-world cardholders can score aspects like customer service, how they actually use rewards, website usability and more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The ratings site polled more than 1,700 cardholders nationwide on 77 different cards to determine their views on the cards they use on a regular basis. The cards presented in the survey were chosen by popularity from the CardRatings website analytics from <span class=\"xn-chron\">Jan. 1-Aug. 31, 2020<\/span>, with additional cards selected by experts as needed to create breadth in the survey.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Notable Consumer Scores<\/p>\n<p><\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Scores for travel cards did <i>not<\/i> decline even though travel is at a standstill <\/li>\n<ul type=\"circle\">\n<li>Hotel and airline card preference did decline, but not as much as expected\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Overall scores for student cards increased since last year <\/li>\n<ul type=\"circle\">\n<li>Consumer scores for all other card types declined <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Business card scores decreased the most <\/li>\n<ul type=\"circle\">\n<li>Scores dropped for all questions, but the biggest drop is from the usefulness of the website\/mobile app \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Card with highest overall score &#8211; Navy Federal Visa cashRewards Card <\/li>\n<li>Issuer with highest score for rewards satisfaction &#8211; Luxury Card (among two cards surveyed) <\/li>\n<li>Issuer with highest score for customer service &#8211; American Express (among\u00a0 14 cards surveyed from this issuer)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;While each score tells you something about the individual card, it&#8217;s important to note that we don&#8217;t ask consumers to consider these cards in relation to other credit cards, but instead think about them as they exist in their own wallet and personal finances,&#8221; Lowery explains. &#8220;We, at CardRatings, do the work of comparing one card against another to create our &#8216;best of&#8217; lists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For instance, even though hotel and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cardratings.com\/best-airline-rewards-credit-cards.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">airline credit cards<\/a> saw an overall decrease, individual cards saw an increase. The Delta Skymiles\u00ae Gold American Express Card saw an overall score improvement of 5.6 points. Yet, the United Explorer<sup>SM<\/sup> Card declined overall by 4.4 points. Meanwhile, scores for travel cards overall remain flat since last year, but some cards saw a jump in preference scores such as the Mastercard\u00ae Black Card\u2122 &#8211; up 7.7 points from last year. Conversely, the Chase Sapphire Reserve\u00ae card saw the largest drop among travel rewards cards even though it was the leading card a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The fact that <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cardratings.com\/best-travel-rewards-credit-cards.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">travel rewards card<\/a> scores were overall unaffected by the decline in travel could indicate that cardholders are confident in their ability to travel again soon and they are banking rewards until that time. However, it could also be a reflection of the steps many banks took during the pandemic to roll out new features, rewards and benefits for these cards in an effort to continue offering cardholders good value during an unusual year,&#8221; Lowery notes.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can find the credit card scores under the User Scores tab for each individual card that made the experts Best Credit Cards of 2021 list. In the coming weeks, the scores for additional surveyed cards will roll out along with associated reviews.<\/p>\n<p>The main Best of 2021 compilation is just one of several &#8220;Best credit cards&#8221; lists that CardRatings curates. Others offer more nuanced choices under broad topics including &#8220;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cardratings.com\/best-credit-cards-for-cash-back-rewards.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Best Cash-Back Credit Cards<\/a>,&#8221; &#8220;Best Travel Rewards Credit Cards,&#8221; Best Credit Cards for Dining Out&#8221; and more.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Survey Methodology<br \/><\/b>CardRatings commissioned Op4G in September and <span class=\"xn-chron\">October 2020<\/span> to conduct surveys among 1,746 cardholders nationwide. CardRatings website analytics from <span class=\"xn-chron\">Jan. 1<\/span>, 2020-<span class=\"xn-chron\">Aug. 31, 2020<\/span> were used to determine a selection of the most popular cards and additional cards were added to add survey breadth. Responses to each of nine questions were given on a scale of 1-10 and respondents&#8217; scores were then averaged under broad topics. To determine the overall score, responses from questions 1-8 were summed and the answer to &#8220;How likely are you to recommend this card to a friend, coworker or family member?&#8221; was double weighted.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Ranking Methodology<br \/><\/b>CardRatings experts review the fine print, details, perks, rewards and features of hundreds of cards and compare them side-by-side with similar cards. A card that makes an excellent balance transfer card may not make a great cash-back rewards card even though it offers those rewards. While the Best of the Year list is announced annually, that list \u2013 and all other &#8220;best of&#8221; lists on CardRatings \u2013 are regularly reviewed and updated as issuers change the terms and features of each card often.<\/p>\n<p>For the complete list and breakdown of the rankings and survey analysis please visit the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cardratings.com\/best-credit-cards.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Best Credit Cards of 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lowery is available for comment.
