Editor’s Choice Cards
While singling out the very best miles credit card really depends on your needs, here are my top three - one of these should be perfect for you or darn close to it:
1) Chase Sapphire
If you've watched the TV commercials advertising the heck out of this thing, you know exactly who Chase is targeting with the Sapphire Card - upper middle class to affluent consumers with excellent credit ratings. If you qualify for this card, it's an excellent card with a great all around rewards program and no annual fee.
2) Escape by Discover
Discover has two miles card offerings. If you travel frequently, the Escape is hands down the best choice. If you travel less frequently and don't use your credit card very often, you can check out the Discover Miles Card. The Miles card has no annual fee where the Escape does come with a $60 fee. However, the $60 annual fee Escape Card earns double miles with no limit. The Miles card earns double miles only on the first $3,000 in purchases each year.
3) American Express Platinum
The American Express Platinum Card is best suited to travelers flying business class frequently. You can get a free international business class companion ticket when you buy one with the card. That's one of many valuable perks you get with this card. It's also the precursor to the legendary and very exclusive Centurion card (unofficially know as the AMEX Black Card). This card also carries a somewhat hefty $450 annual fee, however, if you take advantage of just some of the services that come with the card, that annual fee is a pittance.
