Looking to get a new credit card. I already have the Chase Freedom Unlimited. I am looking to get one that gives good travel rewards/points that can be used for travel.

I've done some preliminary research and the majority of the cards that are at the top of most lists when google searched cost an annual fee. I would rather not pay any fees.

If you have any experience with a particular card good or bad let me know so that I can make the best choice!

Serious?

But to answer your question - there is no worthwhile travel credit card with no AF (stand alone). At least none that I can think of, unless someone can correct me. Now there are travel credit cards that waive AF for the first year and others that make it easy to offset the fee.

Yes this was meant to be a separate thread. That thread discusses all types of rewards. This is geared towards a specific reward, travel.

Chase Reserve is the best; you can still get the 100k point bonus if you apply in person at a Chase branch (through March 13).

3x points on travel and dining purchases
$450 annual fee but they credit back $300 in travel per year; so it's essentially $150

The 100k bonus points is worth at least $1000 and if you eat out regularly, you're racking up more at a great pace. This is the best travel card available right now, period.

Relax. Im not the thread police. I replied to OPs question. I am just saying, if someone took a minute to read 2-3 pages back from the last page, they would usually find the answer to most all of their questions.

I have the barclay arrival plus and been extremely unimpressed by how slow they work and the user interface. I just re-applied for the capital one venture, I had it before but transferred it to a non-fee card when I got the barclay.

For all the reasons above. You also get a $100 statement credit for TSA pre-check or Global Entry every 4 years.

If you make a new post repeating something in the first 400 pages, it gets answered regardless. Just an FYI

Yeah that thread should really be treated as a credit card forum.
