Chase Credit Cards

Co-branded with one of the world’s most popular airlines, this card has many qualities sure to boost its popularity with loyal British Airways flyers. You’ll earn rewards in multiple purchase categories, including hotel accommodations, at a decent clip.

Rewards are earned in the form of Avios, a travel currency known for its stable value and flexibility. You won’t have to worry about blackouts or foreign transaction fees.

Keeping your business electronically connected and your office well-stocked can be expensive, and the same goes for gas and dining. This card unlocks the opportunity to earn cash back on eligible purchases for these types of expenses and enjoy some useful perks in the bargain.

Chase is known for its cash back cards aimed at consumers, but it’s also well-represented in the business space. This no-annual-fee card can help you earn rewards that make your budget go further, purchase by purchase.

If you like staying at Hyatt hotels, it’s hard to go wrong with this card. The World of Hyatt Credit Card comes with a great ongoing rewards rate for both Hyatt purchases and several other categories. There is also a two-tiered sign-up bonus that big spenders will love.

At first, the rewards rates may seem less valuable than what other hotel credit cards offer. But Hyatt points are some of the most valuable hotel loyalty points in the industry, so 1,000 Hyatt points can stretch much further than 1,000 points from many other hotel loyalty programs.

Starting your credit journey as a student is wise, but it can be intimidating. The Chase Freedom Student credit card offers an uncomplicated rewards program with several perks tailored to students. While 1% cash back isn’t the most competitive rate, even for a student card, the presence of a sign-up bonus is notable. Plus, the fact that there is no minimum spend to achieve the sign-up bonus — you just have to make one purchase within three months of opening an account — eliminates the potential pressure to overspend.

The Ink Business Preferred is Chase’s top business credit card for several reasons. The select business bonus categories cover a lot of big-ticket, ongoing expenses for small-business owners, including shipping, internet, cable, phone services and advertising purchases. If spending in those categories is a part of your business operations, why not earn points along the way? And when it’s time to redeem, you’ll get a 25% boost in value by redeeming for travel through Chase Ultimate Rewards.

The IHG hotel network includes nearly 6,000 properties around the world, and with the IHG Rewards Club Premier credit card, you’ll earn up to 25 points per dollar staying at one. This card is also ideal for everyday use since it also offers 2 points per dollar on gas station, grocery store and restaurant purchases. The sign-up bonus is certainly worth your attention, too: 150,000 points after you spend $3,000 in the first three months.

Sometimes it pays to find the middle of the road even when you’re in the air. The New United Quest℠ Card offers loyal United flyers a compromise between a budget card and a premium card.

The rewards rates aren’t spectacular, but the eligible categories cover a wide range of travel and non-travel purchases. You’ll be able to earn miles in a variety of settings, which include dining and paying for select streaming services.

Airlines like United have many loyal customers, but not all of them fit the same mold. This card presents an option for the casual flyer who’s content with peanuts and canned soda as opposed to mixed drinks and hot towels.

This no-annual-fee card earns miles for United purchases, naturally, but you can also earn rewards at gas stations and grocery stores as well as on local transit and commuting. Although the sign-up bonus is modest, so is the spending requirement to earn it.

If you’re considering committing to one hotel network, Marriott is one of the best picks due to its popularity. With the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card, there are plenty of opportunities to earn points on both Marriott and everyday purchases. One of the most noteworthy features is the Free Night Award. After your account anniversary each year, you’ll receive a Free Night Award that you can use for a one-night hotel stay at a property with a redemption level of up to 35,000 points.

With its multiple rewards categories and easily attainable sign-up bonus, this card has the potential to be a miles-earning machine for frequent travelers loyal to United Airlines and its Star Alliance partners. It scores points for value and convenience since you won’t have to worry about expiring miles, foreign transaction fees or blackout dates.

The card also offers a number of perks collectively worth several hundred dollars, if not more. They include free United Club membership and access to United Club airport lounges.
