Can I use rewards points internationally?

If you are looking to travel or are a frequent flyer, it will be in your best interest to get a travel-friendly credit card. Conventionally, larger retail banks have wider global networks and the capacity to handle international transactions. In addition, travel-specific cards have rewards programs that encourage international spending. For instance, the Citi Prestige card helps you earn 3x rewards points on all international purchases. 

The redemption of rewards points is critical to making the most out of your credit card spending. Points are traditionally used for booking flights and hotels, receiving cashback, paying off an outstanding balance or getting discounts on online shopping. The benefit of modern technology is that most of these redemption methods can be employed through online banking via your phone or computer. This means that you can redeem rewards anywhere in the world, anytime. 

A great application of this is booking flights on-the-go. If you are a spontaneous traveler with a lot of accumulated points that can transfer to airline miles, you can book flights and accommodation using those points while traveling. You no longer have to book months in advance and create elaborate itineraries.
