    Best CC for travel

    Im looking for a CC for traveling purposes. Free flights, hotels ect ect. Typically i charge my card and pay everything off at the end of that month. Any suggestions?

    Depends on what brands you typically use. Harrahs, Delta and Marriott have good CC's with rewards. AMEX, Discover, and Chase have all kinds of cards with rewards.

    Cash back rewards are the greatest.

    I have a discover escapes card that I use for business and fortunately all of our vendors take it...double points and 1000 bonus points every month you use it

    It's paid off immediately so doing the math, discover basically gets 3% on transactions and they turn around and give me back 1%. I'd be surprised if there's a better Deal out there.

    might sound stupid but i actually prefer the travel rewards to cash just because it MAKES me get out of town and do something fun

    i live in a pretty fun place but its nice to get out into the world now and then

    if i took cash back i'd just end up giving it back to the book....man i need more hobbies

    I work in a retail store currently with lots of Tourists and can easily say CHASE is the worst CC to have , followed by Capital One, and Discover Card is hit or miss we accept it but sometimes they dont go through.

    Chase is a hassle though

    Best Cards to have

    AMEX
