• What are recommended travel cards?

  • Sources:

    Brad Barrett recommends several travel cards suited for people especially interested in building their travel rewards:

    1. Chase Sapphire Preferred: Ideal for those with a good credit score, offering excellent travel rewards and requiring a credit score of around 700 or higher for best chances of approval. This card is specifically suggested as a great starting point for those new to travel rewards 1.

    2. Capital One Venture: Noted for its flexibility, this card is well-suited to a variety of travel expenses, often referred to because of its "purchase eraser" which allows for broad use across different travel expenses 2.

    3. Barclaycard Arrival Plus: Similar to the Capital One Venture, offering fixed value for each point which can be straightforward and practical for many travelers 3.

    4. American Airlines, United Airlines Delta, and British Airways Cards: These are beneficial for acquiring a significant amount of miles in major airline currencies 4.

    For individuals newer to credit or with lower scores, beginning with a more accessible card and gradually building credit towards these premium options is advised. Brad stresses the importance of responsible use and management of these cards to effectively benefit from their travel rewards 1.
