YES if you… - Travel moderately to frequently - Spend broadly on Travel & Transit - Will use CLEAR + LoungeBuddy credits - Want to redeem points for travel NO if you… - Don’t travel often - Don’t spend on Travel & Transit - Won’t use CLEAR + LoungeBuddy - Want a card only for dining OTHER CARDS TO CONSIDER If you want a travel rewards credit card but spend a lot more on food at home, consider the American Express Gold Card. If you want a great credit card for travel perks (like airport lounge access to Centurion Lounges and Priority Pass lounges, elite status, hotel upgrades, etc.), then consider the American Express Platinum Card. If you want a card to capture non-bonus spend but still with travel rewards points, consider the Capital One Venture card, or even consider going with a Chase credit card strategy. For example, get the Chase Sapphire Reserve or Chase Sapphire Preferred, then combine it with the Chase Freedom Unlimited or the Chase Freedom Flex. All of those cards will earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points that can be combined together.
