credit card points

Spending bonus currency

Credit card points are rewards earned by spending on a credit card, typically one point per dollar.

Points accumulate in an account and can be redeemed for travel, merchandise, gift cards, or statement credits.

The value varies by card and redemption method—travel redemptions often yield more value than cash back.

I'm saving my points for a flight to Tokyo.

Points programs encourage spending and brand loyalty, with bonus categories like dining or groceries offering accelerated earning rates.
