Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express

If you're a frequent flyer or road warrior, an airline or travel card will help you earn perks faster. These cards are generally recommended only if you pay off your balance in full every month. They tend to have a higher interest rate, which means you could end up paying many times over in interest for the airline miles you accumulate. Keep in mind that these cards generally require a good to excellent credit rating for approval.
