Why We Like It
If you can get value from the $200 airline fee credit, $200 Uber credits and $100 Saks Fifth Avenue credit — and travel enough to take advantage of the hotel statuses and lounge benefits, or shop enough to get solid value out of the purchase protections — the Platinum Card from American Express is hard to beat. While the annual fee is steep, the various annual credits can give you most of this cost back.Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

Why We Like It
If you’re ready to move beyond cash back or completely fixed-value travel rewards credit cards, there really is no better place to start than with the Chase Sapphire Preferred. There’s a reason it’s stuck around for so long while other cards have come and gone or languished in the shadows.
