It’s becoming increasingly common these days to see cards charging annual fees in the range of $450 (or more). In many ways, premium<\/a> is the new normal. To convince customers to shell out hundreds of dollars a year, most of these cards offer some type of annual travel statement credit but they’re certainly not all created equal. Some will range from automatic and easy to use to much more restrictive with strict guidelines you need to follow to redeem those travel credits.<\/p>\n

At TPG, we want to equip you with information that empowers your decision-making, which is why we created this chart to help you easily maneuver between some of the most popular travel credit cards<\/a> that offer easy-to-use travel credits.<\/p>\n
