Please view our advertising policy and product review methodology for more information. Quick summary. For years, the most asked question I receive as a travel and credit card expert is: What's the best travel credit card out there? To answer this query, I ask questions of my own, including what a person's travel habits and goals are, so I can help them find the best credit card for their specific needs. This is because there is not one best travel credit card." Which card is best will depend on your individual preferences. Plus, since your spending and travel needs can change over time, the answer to this question will likely also change. The good news is that there are tons of incredible travel credit cards on the market — so many more than when I started doing this over 15 years ago — whether you want to rack up airline miles, hotel points for a lavish stay or points or miles that you can simply redeem for a variety of general travel purchases to shave a few dollars off your statement.

Here's what TPG's Brian Kelly recommends when selecting your next credit card. Chase Sapphire Preferred Card. Welcome offer : Earn 60,000 points after spending $5,000 on purchases within the first three months from account opening. Annual fee : $95. Standout benefits : Ever since its debut in 2009, the Chase Sapphire Preferred has been one of the best all-around travel credit cards out there. Not only are the Ultimate Rewards points it earns ultra useful, but it has robust earning categories that make accruing them a breeze. Although this particular welcome offer is not the all-time high of 100,000 points that we've seen once or twice in the past (no longer available), it is still well worth considering since 60,000 Ultimate Rewards points are worth $750 toward travel booked through Chase Travel and potentially much, much more if you can leverage the Ultimate Rewards program's many airline and hotel transfer partner programs. I've personally been able to use Chase Ultimate Rewards points for redemptions galore, including flights in Qatar Airways Qsuite business class from the Seychelles back to the U.S. — I transferred 85,000 of them to British Airways Avios and redeemed them for my ticket that way, saving myself $6,000. I've also found tremendous value from my Chase points by transferring them to World of Hyatt and redeeming them for ultraluxurious stays at properties like Alila Ventana Big Sur, which can cost north of $2,000 per night. Of course, the high-end redemptions I'm interested in require a lot of points, but this card makes it easy to rack them up thanks to its numerous bonus categories. The Chase Sapphire Preferred earns 2 points per dollar spent on travel, which includes tons of purchases like airline tickets and hotel stays. The card also earns 3 points per dollar on dining at restaurants (not to mention cafes, bars and takeout) around the world. This allows me to top up my points every time I go out to eat. Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card.
