Advertiser Disclosure
The credit card, banking, and other financial offers that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us – for example, when you click a link, are approved for a product, or open an account. This compensation may influence how and where offers appear on the site, including the order in which they appear on category pages. It does not influence our evaluations, ratings, or opinions, which are ours alone. We do not include every bank, credit card company, or offer available in the marketplace.

If those don’t fit your plans, skip it.
Get the Chase Sapphire Preferred if you’ll book a $100-plus hotel stay through Chase Travel each year, since that stay’s credit, up to $100, covers the $95 fee with $5 to spare. The rest of the card, from 3x points on dining and gas to transfers to airline and hotel programs, then costs nothing extra.
