Best Travel Card

[PinkPanther3719]

I'm currently hanging out in the garden, but would like to apply for a travel card in about 6 month-1 year. What is currently the best travel card? I don't travel often for business, but would be making a few trips across the country, maybe one ever 2-3 months. Just wondering what you guys think is the best and what they offer.

Car trips?

Air trips?

Probably a mix of both, and including buses, trains, etc.

I should mention that I don't want a high annual fee, if one at all.

Most cards that are considered "really good travel cards" have AFs.

If you don't want an AF maybe just a Double Cash. 2% on everything, redeem towards whatever you want. Someone suggested Arrival+ and as usual I just don't get it. It's merely a restricted 2.2% with an AF. But to each their own.

Also, consider that you don't plan to app for 6 months to a year. Something new may very well come out by then that eclipses current options, so make sure you look into it later down the line as well.

You might consider the AMEX Hilton HHonors card, the no AF version. Hilton points are the reward, it earns 5 points for Restaurants, Gas and Groceries, so it looks like 2.5% earning rate. 3 points for other spend, so 1.5% for everything else. And, if you stay at the wide range of potential Hilton (Hilton Garden Inn, Doubletree, Hampton, etc) the stays earn more points.

There is a FTF but it sounds like you might not be going overseas anyway. If so, then you can complement it with a Quicksilver for no AF, no FTF.

Hmm....Planes, Trains and Automobiles...

The Overnighters Club card may be just right for you.
