We believe everyone should be able to make financial decisions with
confidence. While we don't cover every company or financial product on
the market, we work hard to share a wide range of offers and objective
editorial perspectives.
So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us for advertisements that
appear on our site. This compensation helps us provide tools and services -
like free credit score access and monitoring. With the exception of
mortgage, home equity and other home-lending products or services, partner
compensation is one of several factors that may affect which products we
highlight and where they appear on our site. Other factors include your
credit profile, product availability and proprietary website methodologies.
However, these factors do not influence our editors' opinions or ratings, which are based on independent research and analysis. Our partners cannot
pay us to guarantee favorable reviews. Here is a list of our partners.

On April 7, 2026, PNC Bank launched a new relationship rewards program, PNC TotalRewards.
For those with balances of at least $25,000 or more across eligible PNC accounts, the loyalty program offers a host of banking-related benefits as well as a boost in points or cash back earned from its rewards credit cards.
Credit cards that qualify for a rewards boost of 5% to 35% include any PNC rewards credit card, including the PNC Cash Unlimited Visa Signature and the PNC Cash Rewards Visa. Note that small-business credit cards and non-rewards earning cards are not eligible.
A bump in credit card rewards can be particularly lucrative for PNC customers with significant amounts saved with the bank.
To enroll for the program, you must have a three-month average balance of $25,000 or more across eligible PNC deposit and investment accounts.
Along with valuable benefits like elevated savings and rate discounts on loans, with the TotalRewards program, PNC customers get an increase in rewards earned with an eligible PNC credit card. Your combined balances determine what tier you're in and how much of a boost you get in credit card rewards.
