Finder credit card staff picks
| My favorite card | Why I love this card | Cardmember since | |
|---|---|---|---|
 Megan Horner | Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card | This card gives me priority pass lounge access without a crazy high annual fee! | 2019 |
 Amy Bonnett | Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card | Unlimited 1.25x miles on all purchases and no annual fee make this an easy travel card to keep in my wallet. I also never have to worry about foreign transaction fees when I use it while traveling abroad. | 2016 |
 Kevin Chen | Chase Freedom Unlimited® | I got this card because I was a longtime Chase customer, and it’s my favorite precisely because it’s so simple. The 1.5% flat-rate cash back gives me solid rewards on all purchases. And because I have the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card as well, I can get a higher value from my rewards by transferring them to airlines. | 2017 |
 Sarah Barness | JetBlue Card | This card has no annual fee and lets me earn airline points on everyday purchases. It makes flying easy! | 2017 |
 Steven Dashiell | Chase Sapphire Reserve® | This card is incredibly feature rich and the annual fee paid for itself through travel credits within just a few months. Love the 5x points earning rate on travel and dining – not to mention Priority Pass discounts on airport meals. | 2019 |
