Best Cards for Legacy Cards

The best credit cards for legacy cards, ranked by real return.

These cards have been discontinued and are no longer open to new applicants, but they live on in the wallets of people who still hold them, and many still earn valuable rewards or feed a points ecosystem. We keep them here for historical context and for existing cardholders who want to compare and plan around what they already carry. You cannot apply for a legacy card, but you can still add it to your wallet to see how it fits your strategy.
