 TITLE: How to Earn Credit Card Points Fast CONTENT: The final major family of rewards cards are known as cash back cards. The points or miles you earn with this type of card are usually redeemable for travel or other purchases at a set rate of about 1 cent per point (sometimes less). For example, the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card earns 2 miles per dollar spent on every purchase. Those miles can be redeemed for statement credits toward travel purchases at one cent apiece, and for most other purchases at lower rates that can vary. END
