MY FAVORITE CARD

Chase Sapphire Preferred – 60,000 bonus points after $4,000 minimum spend, reasonable $95 annual fee, transfers instantly at 1:1 ratio to Southwest (as well as other airline and hotel loyalty programs), double points on travel and dining, no foreign transaction fees.

It’s a no brainer, and I think everyone who wants to travel for less should have one :)!
