GPT on Question 34, Sep 20

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

Assuming you’re in the U.S., the Chase Sapphire Preferred® is the best all-around travel card for most people.

Why:

  • •$95 annual fee
  • •Flexible points transferable to useful airline and hotel partners, including United, Southwest, Air Canada, and Hyatt
  • •Strong travel protections
  • •Bonus rewards on travel and dining
  • •No foreign transaction fee
  • •$50 annual hotel credit through Chase Travel

Better choices for specific needs:

  • •Capital One Venture X: Best premium value if you’ll use its travel-portal credit and airport lounges.
  • •Bilt Mastercard: Best for earning points on rent without a transaction fee; no annual fee.
  • •Wells Fargo Autograph: Strong no-annual-fee travel option.
  • •Amex Platinum: Best for extensive lounge access and luxury benefits, but only if you’ll use enough credits to justify the high fee.

Bottom line: Pick Chase Sapphire Preferred for simplicity and flexible redemptions; pick Venture X if lounge access matters. Welcome offers change frequently, so compare the live offer before applying—and only use rewards cards if you pay the balance in full.
