GPT on Question 34, Sep 14

What's the best travel rewards credit card right now?

Assuming you’re in the U.S. with good-to-excellent credit, the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card is the best all-around travel card for many people.

Why:

  • •2 miles per dollar on nearly everything
  • •$300 annual Capital One Travel credit
  • •10,000 anniversary miles each year
  • •Airport-lounge access
  • •Transferable airline/hotel miles
  • •No foreign-transaction fees
  • •$395 annual fee, largely offset if you use the credits

Better choices for specific needs:

  • •Chase Sapphire Preferred: Best lower-fee option and strong travel protections
  • •Chase Sapphire Reserve: Better if you value Chase points, lounges, and premium protections
  • •Amex Platinum: Best for extensive luxury-travel perks, but expensive and credit-heavy
  • •Bilt Mastercard: Best no-annual-fee option, particularly for renters

Welcome bonuses change frequently and can determine which card is best at a given moment. Also, don’t carry a balance—the interest usually outweighs any rewards.
