Okay, award travel aficionados, let's talk about maximizing your points and miles! We all know the best feeling is booking a "free" trip, but let's face it: taxes, fees, and the occasional splurge always pop up. That's where having the right credit card for travel purchases comes in handy. AwardWallet just dropped their updated list of the best credit cards to use for travel purchases in November 2025.
Why should you care? Well, using the right card can earn you extra points or miles on those necessary travel expenses, effectively boosting your rewards haul and getting you closer to your next dream vacation. Think of it as earning rewards on top of the rewards you're already redeeming!
The article breaks down the top cards, highlighting which ones offer the best return on things like airfare, hotels, rental cars, and even those pesky foreign transaction fees. So, whether you're a seasoned points guru or just starting your award travel journey, definitely give this list a look. It's all about making every travel dollar count, and this guide will help you do just that!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
