You can redeem Visa rewards points online through your credit card issuer's website or app. The rewards redemption process may differ by issuer, but the general steps to redeem your rewards online will be the same. In some cases, you will also be able to redeem rewards by phone.
How to Redeem Your Visa Reward Points
Log into your account
You need to use your account with the bank or credit union that issued your card. Each credit card issuer’s website and mobile app will be a little different, but they all make it easy to see how many points you have and then redeem them online.
Choose your preferred redemption method
You can redeem your reward points in a few ways, including as a statement credit on your monthly bill, a gift card, or even a physical check in the mail. Many cards also let you redeem points for travel.
After choosing an amount to redeem and a redemption method, you can select the option to finalize the redemption process.
Wait for your rewards
If you redeem points for a statement credit, online gift card, or direct deposit into a checking account, for example, you should get your money very quickly. If you’d rather redeem points for a physical gift card or a check, you will need to wait for it to arrive in the mail.
