The Amex Platinum Card has a HUGE $695 annual fee, but with that comes a lot of credits and benefits to help you earn back that cost. The card earns Amex Membership Rewards points, which offer a great deal of flexibility for travel redemptions. Additionally, the Amex Platinum Card is a great choice if you’re looking for the BEST credit card for lounge access. It’ll get you into the Amex Centurion Lounge, Delta SkyClub, Priority Pass lounges, Plaza Premium Lounges, and many more. You’ll also be given automatic Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite Status, Hilton Honors Gold Status, and various elite status levels with rental car companies. Be aware that if you get this card, make sure you’re willing to manage all the credits that give you rebates in different spending categories (and also make sure the credits fit in with your normal spend habits).

The Chase Sapphire Reserve costs a bit less at a $550 annual fee. It’s the better choice if you want the highest overall value for a rewards program (it makes Chase Ultimate Rewards points worth 1.5¢ towards travel at a minimum AND select retail categories via the Chase Pay Yourself Back feature). Consider this travel credit card if you tend to book travel outside of bank portals (i.e. directly with the airline or hotel websites) and if you want the best overall travel insurance and retail protections. In time, the Chase Sapphire Lounge network will be built out, giving you access to more airport lounges.

The Capital One Venture X is the newest option of them all and is also the most affordable with its $395 annual fee. Take a look at this card if you’re ok with using the Capital One Travel portal to book your trips and if you want to share benefits with others by adding them as authorized users (note: each one receives their own Priority Pass membership). It’s a fantastic card if you want the basics without working to get value (that is, there aren’t a bunch of credits to track). It also earns Capital One Miles, which are arguably one of the easiest point systems to use (thanks to the ‘point eraser’ feature that allows you to do simple redemptions for travel purchases as statement credits). Furthermore, the Capital One Lounge network, while very new, has already opened its first location at DFW airport. More locations are on the way!
