Depends on who offers the card, maybe. My options are cash back (equal to what I'd get through Amazon), gift cards (also equal, just to different places) or travel stuff (haven't looked into it because you can't do it online and also meh).
Originally they just gave you Amazon gift cards but at some point Amazon integrated it directly into their checkout, which makes it convenient to use the points.
My bank's regular Visa has a whole catalog of shit you can buy. Those might be good deals if you coincidentally need one of the specific items they offer (hmmm.... drinking buddy wine charms! Owl napkin rings! A bamboo cutting board! A pilates ball! An inflatable floating cooler!... It's like a bad episode of Wheel of Fortune in there!)
