Not exact matches
The advantage of a regular, non co-branded card is that you can redeem your rewards on any airline, any
hotel brand, or any other travel expense — and there won't be blackout dates or other
restrictions on redemption.
While there are dozens of co-branded business rewards cards for those dedicated to specific airlines or
hotel chains, unaligned businesses can often get the most value out of a travel rewards card with flexible points or miles that can be used free of
brand restrictions.
The card rewards are flexible — you redeem a statement credit to use your miles, and there are no
restrictions on
hotel brands or airlines.
On the other hand, cards that are not
brand specific open up many more airlines and
hotels and offer reward bookings with no
restrictions, which also has a big value.
