What's the best travel rewards credit card right now?Assuming you’re in the U.S., Chase Sapphire Preferred® is the best all-around travel card for most people.
Why it stands out
- •Reasonable $95 annual fee
- •Valuable points transferable to partners such as Hyatt, United, Southwest, Air Canada, and others
- •Strong travel protections
- •Bonus rewards on travel and dining
- •Easier to justify than premium cards with complex credits
Better choices for specific needs
- •Capital One Venture X: Best premium-value option if you’ll use its annual travel credit and airport lounges.
- •Wells Fargo Autograph: Best no-annual-fee travel card.
- •Bilt Mastercard: Best for renters who want points on rent without a transaction fee.
- •Amex Platinum: Best for frequent travelers focused on lounges and luxury benefits—but only if its high fee and credits fit your spending.
- •Amex Gold: Best for heavy dining and U.S. supermarket spending, though it’s more of a points-earning card than a pure travel card.
Welcome bonuses and terms change frequently, so compare the live offer before applying. Also, travel rewards are worthwhile only if you pay the balance in full.
If you tell me your country, annual travel spending, preferred airlines/hotels, and whether you want lounge access, I can narrow it to one card.
