Platinum Benefit
Travel Credits
All versions of card benefits are not created equal. Below is a quick reference on what cards are best for Travel Credits benefit.
Details
Some of the best travel cards will give you a $100 to $325 credit statement on airline tickets, hotels and car rentals. That means your annual fee is -- in effect -- reduced by your travel credit. So a $550 annual fee on a card that gives you $300 back is a net of $250 for an annual fee. The multipliers and benefits may very well offset the $250. The (+) version receive a credit on all travel chages (-) version is limited to specific travel services
