Now that we’ve gone through the free airline cards again, it’s time for the mid-level cards, those with an annual fee of around $100. Like last time, I’m going to ignore one American Airlines card, which is the Aviator Blue card. This card has a reduced $49 annual fee, and so doesn’t quite match theseContinue reading “Airline Credit Cards Updated Comparison: low annual-fee versions”

The Bilt Card (Old version; outdated!)
I have a fun credit card to talk about today! It’s been blowing up the points and travel world since it first came out, and that is the Bilt Card. It’s issued by Wells Fargo and it’s the first Wells Fargo card to be featured on this blog. This card’s claim to fame is that itContinue reading “The Bilt Card (Old version; outdated!)”
American Airlines Aviator Red Card
A while ago, I posted a series of comparisons of the major US airlines’ credit cards. The “entry-level” ($95 annual fee) comparison had two offerings from American Airlines: one from Citi and one from Barclays, which is the topic of this post. I figured I’d start with the Aviator Red Card because that’s the card that IContinue reading “American Airlines Aviator Red Card”
Alaska Airlines Visa Card
I’ve talked about the credit cards of most of the airlines I fly regularly on here but not the Alaska Airlines credit card. The main reason for skipping over it is that I never credit any flights to Alaska because Alaska is partners with BA and AA, which are my main two airlines I collectContinue reading “Alaska Airlines Visa Card”
Amtrak Guest Rewards Plus Card
Greetings from Amtrak! My train was delayed as per usual, but I decided to take a break from airline credit cards for a bit to look at the Amtrak credit cards. It’s an interesting concept for a government-owned entity to have co-branded credit cards, but Amtrak is intended to be run as a profit-seeking entity. Continue reading “Amtrak Guest Rewards Plus Card”
Amtrak Guest Rewards Card
I decided to take a break from airline credit cards for a bit to look at the Amtrak credit cards. It’s an interesting concept for a government-owned entity to have co-branded credit cards, but Amtrak is intended to be run as a profit-seeking entity. Amtrak offers two credit cards: a no annual fee option andContinue reading “Amtrak Guest Rewards Card”
JetBlue Plus Card
The next credit card of interest in the series of low cost carrier cards is the JetBlue Plus Card. This card is the paid version of the JetBlue Card that I covered a couple weeks ago. This card is also issued by Barclaycard USA and is one of the better Barclaycards that I am awareContinue reading “JetBlue Plus Card”
JetBlue Card by Barclaycard USA
Having just covered the Southwest credit cards, it’s time to turn to the next largest low-cost airline in the US: JetBlue. JetBlue has a great route network and a great product in both economy and business class. JetBlue’s Mint Business Class product is arguably one of the best in the US, but it can rarelyContinue reading “JetBlue Card by Barclaycard USA”
Airline co-branded card comparison: mid-level
The next step up from the entry-level cards is the mid-tier cards: those with annual fees around $250. Delta has the Platinum Card from American Express ($250) and United as the Quest card from Chase ($250). American doesn’t currently have a mid-tier credit card, so I’ve included the Aviator Silver card ($199) here for comparison,Continue reading “Airline co-branded card comparison: mid-level”
Airline co-branded card comparison: entry-level
Now that we’ve gone through the free airline cards, it’s time for the entry-level cards, those with an annual fee of around $100. As I mentioned in the previous article, American, Delta, and United actually partner with 4 banks. Specifically, at the roughly $100 level, American offers two cards: one with Barclays and one withContinue reading “Airline co-branded card comparison: entry-level”
