The fees on my two cards are $95 per year, each, though they have higher price options available. In the process of starting one card, and will drop the other.

Delta gives no baggage fee, early boarding, and historically the $99 companion fare. Though that is a sad waste, as I travel alone to visit family. Am Ex is a bit of a pain, as they are not as widely accepted, and I feel guilty with some retailers, as their fees are higher.

United gives a few lounge passes yearly , and no baggage fee and early boarding. My S, the expert on these matters, says they have greater flexibility in redeeming miles, and you can redeem for one way tickets. This is a Visa.

Using a card that works with your local airport connections is to your advantage, as you’ll accrue miles faster. I don’t travel for business, but find the cards well worthwhile.

Watch for offers for more free miles for signing, google those cards before filling out applications. Sign an offspring for an extra 5000 miles on signing.
