Any new recommendations for credit cards you guys like and use?
Since the US Air merger, the US Airways Premier World MC I have had for years is getting rid of a lot of the benefits that made it appealing. It has been nice to have because it helps me stack up points to fly Rachael for free most places we go (along with my accrued miles / status from work travel). But a lot of the newer cards offer points-to-miles conversions or let you book free flights with no blackout dates on any carrier. And to be honest, US Air is stupid expensive compared to the other carriers when I have to pay for it out of pocket.
I pay off our CC every month thankfully so interest rates are irrelevant. I pay a yearly fee for my current card so I am not opposed to that if the rewards / perks are good but I am not willing to spend $300+ on a credit card, that's dumb.
I have a corporate Amex and rewards points linked to it, which I could combine with a personal Amex but I am not crazy about how some small businesses don't accept it (with the amount of travel I do, I run into this more than you would think). Anything you guys can recommend would be great! Thanks!
