From Universal Studios Hollywood<\/a> and Universal Orlando<\/a> to Dollywood<\/a>, Knott’s Berry Farm in California<\/a> and beyond, there are more than 500 million annual visits to theme parks worldwide in a normal year.<\/p>\n

Tickets to big-name parks often top $100 per day \u2014 or much more on holidays. In fact, theme park ticket prices are at an all-time high<\/a>. Then, there are the other costs: hotels, food, parking, skip-the-line passes and getting yourself (and your family) from wherever you live to whatever park you’re visiting.<\/p>\n

Luckily, you and your crew of Avengers can assemble at Universal’s parks for less, thanks to credit card points. Here’s a look at the best credit cards for Universal Studios trips.<\/p>\n

Where you buy Universal tickets matters<\/h2>\n

Before we jump in, it’s worth explaining a few key terms. The best credit card for theme park ticket purchases depends on how the purchase will code on your credit card bill. Thus, where you buy your theme park tickets matters. The most likely bonus categories for theme park tickets are entertainment<\/a> or travel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When purchasing park tickets directly from the theme park, the charge should code as an entertainment purchase. On some credit cards, entertainment will code as a travel charge; most often, it doesn’t.<\/p>\n
