One of the best cards for earning Amex points thanks to 4x on groceries (up to $25k per year) and 4x at restaurants. The best offer is currently via personal referral.
One of my favorite cards on the market right now. I regularly use it to earn 2x on spend that otherwise would earn 1x. Throw in lounge access and up to 3 free authorized users (who also get lounge access), and you have something special.
It’s a solid card that earns 2x on everything if you’re nervous about the Venture X’s annual fee. Still, anyone who travels a decent bit should really consider the Venture X. Just run the numbers and you’ll see!
Not only is this card the best way to start earning valuable ThankYou Points, but it has some great 3x bonus categories and an annual $100 hotel credit. Not bad for a card with a low annual fee.
A card packed with perks and statement credits for small business owners.
Earn 4x on a bunch of categories on up to $200k per calendar year. It's possible to get a welcome offer for 130k points but it's highly targeted.
With Lufthansa Miles & More miles, you can access Lufthansa first class award space earlier than Star Alliance partners.
This card offers a great welcome bonus that can help you book some fun business (and first) class flights. You also get a free checked bag on domestic American flights.
Alaska miles are great for business and first class flights to Asia. It may be possible to get a better offer by going through the process to book flight.
Quite possibly the easiest welcome bonus to earn as you’ll need to make just one purchase. It doesn’t hurt that the miles you’ll earn are valuable American miles.
A slightly cheaper alternative to the Spark Cash Plus. You still earn 2x on all spend but you’ll have a credit limit. If you don’t have as much business spend, this could be a good choice to earn Capital One miles.
The Citi AAdvantage Executive card is designed for people who regularly fly American Airlines and want lounge access. You can also get a Loyalty Points boost to help you earn the next level of elite status with American AAdvantage.
Alaska miles are great for business and first class flights to Asia. Currently, this is your best option for earning Alaska miles.
If you need a big chunk of American miles and would like a free checked bag on your domestic American flights, look no further.

A solid welcome bonus, 15 elite night credits each year, plus an annual free night certificate (up to 35,000 points) makes this a solid business card option for those who stay with Marriott.
A lower annual fee than the Platinum or Gold, the Green Card is a solid earner with 3x on dining and travel. You’ll also get an annual $100 credit for both a CLEAR membership and LoungeBuddy. Just make sure you apply for the best welcome offer.
Listed as a cashback card, you can turn the cash into transferable points by moving the ot to a card that earns Capital One miles (e.g. Venture X). It’s also a charge card so there’s no set limit if you have large business expenses.
Pair this no annual fee card with the Citi Premier and the cash back you earn can become transferable ThankYou Points. Since you’ll earn 2x on all purchases, this card makes sure you never have to earn 1x.
