However, you can still earn hotel points with no-fee general rewards cards: the <strong>American Express<sup>&reg;<\/sup> Green Card<\/strong> (no fee) earns Membership Rewards transferable to Marriott Bonvoy at 1:1.2. Cash-back cards like the <strong>Tangerine Money-Back Credit Card<\/strong> work for hotel bookings paid in cash. If avoiding fees is your top priority, you&#8217;ll get more value from a no-fee transferable-points card than from any branded option.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"component component__faq__item component__faq__item--opened wp-block-milesgutenberg-faq-item\">\n\t<div class=\"component__faq__item__title\">\n\t\t<h4 id=\"can_i_earn_hotel_points_through_third-party_booking_portals_\" class=\"toc_exclude component__faq__item__title__heading\">\n\t\t\tCan I earn hotel points through third-party booking portals?\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"component__faq__item__content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"component__faq__item__content__inner\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>Yes, but be careful \u2014 booking through Expedia, Booking.com or Hotels.com usually <strong>disqualifies you from earning hotel-brand points<\/strong> (Marriott, Hilton, IHG only credit stays booked direct or with the chain&#8217;s own travel agency). However, you can still earn credit-card points: the <strong>TD First Class Travel<sup>&reg;<\/sup> Visa Infinite* Card<\/strong> earns 8 TD Rewards per dollar on Expedia bookings, and the <strong>Scotiabank Passport<sup>&trade;<\/sup> Visa Infinite +* Card<\/strong> redeems Scene+ points at 1,000 = $10 toward any hotel.
