Best Travel Rewards Credit Card?
Looking to switch credit cards - but looking for something that will give me great mileage to then use on vacations, etc. Any recommendations?
So far, I'm looking at the Starwood Rewards, Delta and the JetBlue/Amex card.

Re: Best Travel Rewards Credit Card?
I have a Hilton Honors Visa and I LOVE IT!!!
It's the only cc I use. I've been using it for years. My family and I don't travel much, maybe 1-2 vacations a year but when we do I am usually able to cash them in for free stays. We've stayed completely for free at The Waldorf for 2 separate weekends, in Paris for 5 days, in Orlando a few times and Boston for a weekend.
My parents have Capital One cards and we've been able to cash in their miles for our airfare. Between the 2 cards, we've taken many trips for practically free. The Cap One miles are great b/c you can use them on any airline. We've flown Virgin America, JetBlue, Delta and Air France all for free.
My DH has a regular gold AmEx but I don't think their miles are as useful.
My Dad says I should become some new sort of travel agent b/c I can arrange so many trips for free using all kinds of points and miles.

I have the Starwood Amex and love it - we redeem points for free hotel stays all the time. I charge anything and everything possible to get more points.

Re: Best Travel Rewards Credit Card?
We just used the delta one ...in addition to the miles....they also give you 1st bag free when traveling..so we all went to aruba (4 of us) and each checked a bag which would have been $25 each...so $100 total...so it payed for the annual fee and then some in just one trip!

I have the Delta card bc I was travelling a lot for work. You get Priority boarding and when I act natural, I walk thru the Priority line for security too. Just flash the card w my boarding pass.

I opened amex blue last year before my trip. They gave me a $300 credit towards airfare.
I just opened a delta amex card which gave me 30,000 points (enough for a round trip flight) and I get free bags checked for everyone in my family. I'm going to try this one out for the year.
