Many hotel loyalty programs, including World of Hyatt<\/a>, Marriott Bonvoy<\/a> and Hilton Honors<\/a>, offer cobranded credit cards. And even if you only stay with a particular hotel loyalty program<\/a> a few times each year, you may still benefit from signing up for that program’s credit card. After all, some of the best hotel credit cards<\/a> offer valuable benefits that far outweigh the fees.<\/p>\n

One of the best perks frequently offered by hotel credit cards is an annual free night certificate. This anniversary night can often justify the card’s annual fee<\/a> before you even consider any of the card’s other perks. As such, I typically don’t hesitate to open a new hotel credit card that offers an annual award night. And I’ve never closed a credit card<\/a> that provides one. After all, I always get more value from the annual free night and other perks than the annual fee I pay.<\/p>\n

As we look ahead to fall and holiday travel, now is a great time to add one or more of the best hotel credit cards<\/a> to your wallet. So let’s reviewsome of the best hotel credit cards that provide an annual free night to cardholders.<\/p>\n
