Best Credit card for a frequent traveller
Posted on 1/27/13 at 6:28 pm

I travel quite a lot and was looking for a credit card that has some good perks. Since my Sky Club membership has expired, I was thinking of a card that could give me access to clubs. I have a corporate card that my company insists that we use so specifics on hotel/air/food are not a big deal.
So far the two that I have seen that offer some good perks are:
[link=(AMEX Platinum
)]https://exploreplatinum.americanexpress.com/[/link][link=(Ritz Carlton )]https://www.theritzcarltonrewardscard.com/1100015[/link]
Any suggestions? Are these worth the hefty annual fee if I was going to pay 350 for sky club anyway?

Why aren't you renewing the skyclub?

The Starwood card has a good rep.
If you have a single airline, a miles card for that airline makes sense.

Can't speak for personal experience but all of my friends who are frequent travelers consider AmEx as literally the only option.
The people who say this take international flights at least 3 times a year though.
But the 200 dollar annual credit on airline incidental charges does take a lot out of the 450 annual fee.

If you are flying Delta a majority of the time Delta Reserve is awesome.... I love it
If that's not the case I would go with the Amex Platinum you linked

The Amex platinum card will get you into most airport lounges (United is the only major exception). It's great for dining reservations, the travel agency has bailed me out multiple times, and you can accumulate points to use for anything, any time, which is more flexible than most cards. If you travel a lot, especially internationally, it is the card to have.

Just got the Barclays Black deal in the mail. Double up your points for airline use, (500 dollar ticket for 25,000 pts) one point for all dollars spent and use of all sky clubs in airports. Thought was a fair deal.
495 dollar annual fee seemed retarded high.
