Our editors’ take: The best travel credit cards
Editors’ Tips††: A great travel credit card comes with great rewards, valuable perks and the opportunity to maximize the value you get from it. Travel cards can come with high annual fees, but you may find that the perks and rewards outweigh the annual fee. Consider how your spending matches with a card’s bonus categories, whether you’ll use the card’s perks and how often you’re likely to redeem your points for travel.
Our editors’ picks for the best travel cards offer clear value for your spending, whether via rewards or perks. Editors looked at bonus rates, perks and the overall value of each rewards program to determine which cards offer the most features for the annual fee.
