The no-brainer travel card you need

Travel card options can seem endless and overwhelming, but there’s really only one card that’s a no-brainer.

If you have only one card, this card is the one you should have in your wallet. (Heads up: The card we’re referring to is the first on the list.)

Scroll past the card’s bonus offer. It’s decent, but not a showstopper.

Offer: New cardholders can earn 75,000 bonus miles after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months.

The card’s superpower is elsewhere:

It involves no extra brainpower. You’ll earn 2x miles per dollar on every purchase. That’s it. No category multipliers to track, no rotating bonus categories, or worrying about whether you used the wrong card.
You can effectively erase its $395 annual fee with two easy-to-use credits:
- $300 annual travel credit*: You can put this toward travel purchases made in your card’s travel portal. This includes hotels, rental cars, flights, and more. That’s basically getting a $300 discount on your next trip.
- $120 Global Entry or TSA PreCheck® Credit**: Opt for Global Entry because TSA PreCheck is included. This credit is good once every four years.
Airport lounge access. This card’s airport lounge footprint isn’t the largest, but their lounges are new and they are nice. And, they’re far less oversubscribed than some of the big name lounges.

Bottom line: This card helps you save on travel and provides reliable value year after year. Using its rewards doesn’t require a part-time job.

* Each annual credit will expire on the next account open date anniversary.

**Up to $120 every 4 years. To receive the statement credit you must use your card to pay the application fee.

Heads up: If you’ve earned a signup bonus on this card or its junior sibling card in the past 48 months, you won’t be eligible for this offer.

A disclaimer about card names:

Due to the quirks of credit card compliance, we are sometimes not allowed to use the actual names of cards or certain banks in emails. This means we have to resort to using more generic language when talking about some credit cards.

We know this can be confusing or frustrating, but we encourage you to click through to our site, where we can name and talk more candidly about the cards and their benefits. While we are bound by the rules of credit card compliance, our mission will always be to put our readers first and help you travel better for less.
