Best Travel Rewards Programs!

The way airlines and hotels have been treating customers lately it’s certainly hard for travelers to stay loyal to one company. While we are constantly being asked to sign up for rewards programs that will give us perks for our loyalty, not all programs are alike and not all of them are really worth it. Thankfully, "U.S. News & World Report" is here to help you choose the right one.

The mag just came out with their 2018-2019 Best Travel Reward Programs list, identifying 25 hotel and airline loyalty programs with the most rewarding perks.

For hotels, Marriott Rewards earned top honors for yet another year, with mag noting that their merger with Starwood Preferred Guest and The Ritz-Carlton Rewards helped to boost their already high rankings thanks to their huge network of hotels. Plus, points can be redeemed for things like gift cards, rental cars, unique experiences, and even TSA Pre-check applications and airport lounge access.

As for airlines, Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan earned the title of Best Airline Rewards Program for a fourth straight year.
