How did you choose these cards for hotel loyalists?
+
We list the cards we hold in United States that match this guide's category or card type, ordered by the welcome offer the page can print, then alphabetically. It is a shortlist, not a ranking — the quiz ranks cards on your own spending. Nothing here is pay-to-rank.
Why do some cards show no annual fee figure?
+
Because we hold no confirmed figure for it. Our fee column used to default to zero, and many cards still carry a zero that no check has confirmed — so a zero on its own cannot be told apart from a field nobody filled in, and printing “$0” there would invent a price. A card shows a fee where a positive one is on record, or where a zero was confirmed against the issuer's terms; otherwise the slot reads “Not confirmed”, and the issuer's own page is the place to check before you apply.
