GPT on Question 34, Sep 16
What's the best travel rewards credit card right now?Best all-around travel card for most U.S. travelers: Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card.
Why:
- •Moderate $95 annual fee
- •Valuable Chase transfer partners, including Hyatt, United, and Southwest
- •Strong rewards on dining and travel
- •Good travel protections, including primary rental-car coverage
- •Easier to justify than premium cards with complex credits
Other strong choices:
- •Capital One Venture X: Best premium value if you’ll use its travel credit and airport lounges.
- •Chase Sapphire Reserve: Best for frequent travelers who value stronger travel benefits and Chase points.
- •American Express Platinum: Best for lounge access and luxury perks, but only if its many credits fit your spending.
- •Wells Fargo Autograph: Strong no-annual-fee option.
- •Bilt Mastercard: Best if you rent and want points on rent without a transaction fee.
Welcome offers change frequently and can determine which card is best right now, so compare the current public and targeted offers before applying. If you carry a balance, rewards generally aren’t worth the interest.
If choosing one without more information, I’d pick Chase Sapphire Preferred.
