Despite the oftentimes draining effects of logging serious miles while out on the road, the perks of maximizing the benefits of credit card offers that keep business travelers in mind is a great benefit. But given the multitude of options, perks and bonuses offered by each, making the decision of what card works best for you is simply a matter of a preference. We wanted to highlight a few of the big ones as an introduction and to offer some perspective to help guide you in your decision. Without further adieu..
Citi AAdvantage: A great all-around benefits package including a free first bag check for you and up to 4 others, priority boarding and 30,000 AAdvantage bonus miles on sign up. However, the American Airlines exclusivity might be a turn off.
Amex Platinum: While the lounge access, $200 credit and 0% interest (as long your balance is paid in full each month) is enticing….the $450 annual fee could be a deal breaker for the conscientious spender as well as the restrictions that come with Amex not being accepted universally.
Chase Sapphire Preferred: Double points on travel and dining and the potential for receiving an additional 40,000 points when you spend $3,000 in the first 3 months make this Visa a solid bet if you’re not concerned with high interest rates or airport lounge access.
There’s plenty more options out but these 3 cards are some of the better deals out there that we’ve come across. Know of some comparable or similar deals? Sound off in the comments below!
