Paying annual fees can be an important part of keeping great credit cards that earn you big travel bonuses every year. Much of the time, the annual benefits far outweigh the fees you pay—but sometimes you may just be looking for a card you want to keep long-term, with no annual fees ever.
Good news, travelers. There are several great options for “always fee free” credit cards that will earn you either points and cash (or both) to help you see the world.
Here’s a list of some of our favorite annual-fee-free cards:
The Amex EveryDay® Credit Card from American Express
With the Amex EveryDay® Credit Card from our partner American Express, you can earn 10,000 Membership Reward® points after you use your new Card to make $1,000 in purchases within the first 3 months. You’ll also receive 2X points at supermarkets on up to $6,000 per year in purchases. If you prefer travel points to cash back this in an option worth looking at. Lean more.
Chase Freedom Unlimited (SM)
The Chase Freedom Unlimited gives you 1.5% cash back on every single thing you purchase, plus you’ll get $150 cash back when you spend $500 in the first three months from account opening. We put this card on the top of our no-annual fee card list because we also really love that you can transform your cash back rewards into Ultimate Rewards points (our favorite travel currency) as long as you also have another Ultimate Rewards earning card like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or the Chase Ink Plus® Business Credit Card.
Get 10,000 TrueBlue point bonus when you spend $1,000 in the first 90 days of your account being open. In addition to no annual fee, there are no foreign transaction fees. You’ll also earn 2x points everyday on restaurants and grocery stores. This one is great if you are a JetBlue flyer! Learn more.
SimplyCash® Plus Business Credit Card from American Express
If you’re looking for an annual fee-free business card, he SimplyCash® Plus Business Credit Card from our partner American Express is a great option for a business cash back card with ongoing benefits. Earn a $250 statement credit after spending $5,000 on the card within the first six months of card membership as a limited time offer if you apply before August 3, 2016. Learn more.
