My favorite travel card

The The Platinum Card® from American Express card

There is no card that comes with more noteworthy transfer partners, credits and lounge access than the Amex Platinum.

My cash-back card of choice

The Citi Double Cash® Card card

This is my favorite cash-back card in my wallet, as its simple approach to earning (2% back on all purchases; 1% when you buy and 1% when you pay) makes it easy to save on everyday expenses.

Our Commitment to Transparency

The Points Guy believes that credit cards can transform lives, helping you leverage everyday spending for cash back or travel experiences that might otherwise be out of reach. That’s why we publish a variety of editorial content and card comparisons: to help you find a great card to turn your goals into reality.

When you choose to apply (and are approved) for a new credit card through our site, we may receive compensation from our partners, and this may impact how or where these products appear. While we don’t cover all available credit cards, our editorial team creates and maintains all of the analysis of these cards, and our content is not influenced nor subject to review by any credit card company, bank or partner prior to (or after) publication. Please view our advertising policy and product review methodology for more information.
