Earn up to $350 in rewards with these One Key credit card welcome offers
Editor's Note
The One Key™ Card and One Key+™ Card offer strong earnings rates and benefits for low annual fees.
Let's take a closer look at the two cards and analyze the current offers to see which one is best for you.
The information for the One Key Card and the One Key+ Card have been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
One Key+ Card
The One Key+ Card has a $99 annual fee but comes with multiple benefits to help make up for its price tag. If you can take advantage of those perks, it's well worth going for the One Key+.
Current welcome offer
Earn $350 in OneKeyCash™ after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
Is it worth it?
It's important to note that OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used with Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo. However, the card does come with some nice earnings rates if you use those platforms often.
- 3% back in OneKeyCash on Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo (in addition to what you earn as a One Key member)
- 3% back in OneKeyCash at gas stations, grocery stores and on dining
- 2% back in OneKeyCash on other purchases
This card comes with a few perks that make up for its annual fee. You'll receive $100 in OneKeyCash each year on your account anniversary and a statement credit of up to $120 for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck once every four years.
You'll also get automatic Gold status in the One Key rewards program with savings of 20% or more on over 10,000 hotels worldwide. You'll reach Platinum when you spend $30,000 or more per calendar year.
