The Suite Card

The Suite Card could be the right kind of credit card for those of us that love to travel yet want something more from a credit card than simply frequent flyer miles.

With this card you can earn free stays at over 20,000 hotels worldwide. It also allows you to get free room upgrades.

This card is a joint venture between Hotelopia.co.uk and BBVA, on of the largest banks in Europe.

How the Card Works

Each time you make a purchase on your card you will receive Suite Points. You can earn 10 points for every £50 spent on your card. When you use your card to book hotel stays at Hotelopia.co.uk you will earn 120 points for every £50 spent - a substantial increase on the standard rewards offered.

Points can then be redeemed for free hotel nights. Hotels are given a colour grade according to various factors such as the level of luxury and their location. The higher the grade of hotel, the more points it will take to get those free nights.

You will also get a number of bonus points when you first use your card. This will be enough points for a free hotel night.

Credit Sources Review

This could be a great card for travelers looking for something a bit different that an airline card that offers the flexibility of free nights in over 20,000 hotels throughout the world.

Do bare in mind that hotels can be expensive so it can take quite a while to save enough points for a fortnight in a luxury hotel. However, it can be great for weekend breaks etc.

The interest rate and fees on this card are fairly competitive when compared with other similar rewards cards.
