No Annual Fee Credit Cards

The no-annual fee Hilton Honors American Express Card comes with complimentary Hilton Silver status, earns bonus Hilton points on Hilton stays, US restaurants, US gas stations, and US supermarkets*. Terms apply.

*American Express defines a supermarket as offering a wide variety of food and household products such as meat, fresh produce, dairy, canned and packaged goods, household cleaners, pharmacy products and pet supplies. (Superstores, convenience stores and warehouse clubs are NOT considered supermarkets.)

NOTE: For the purposes of calculating your expected rewards, we are assuming that the spend you put in "Hotels" is all spent at Hilton portfolio hotels and resorts. If some is spent at other hotels, your actual rewards will be slightly lower.

A no-fee Chase card offering 1.5x Ultimate Rewards points on everything, except as noted below. It's best combined with a Chase Sapphire Reserve or Chase Sapphire Preferred, or Chase Ink Business Preferred to unlock the power of transfer partners.

Chase Freedom Unlimited Rate:

• 5X on travel when purchased through the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal*
• 5X on Lyft until March 2022
• 3X on dining (including takeout and delivery)
• 3X at drugstores
• 1.5X on everything else

NOTE: This card can be used as cash back or as an Ultimate Rewards points card. In valuing your rewards, we assume you also have a Chase Sapphire Reserve or Chase Sapphire Preferred, or Chase Ink Business Preferred. You can then transfer points from this card to one of those to unlock the power of transfer partners. If you have this card without one of the above cards, your rewards value will be lower with each point worth exactly 1 cent.

Note: Our rewards optimization calculator will count all travel on this card at 5X, but please note the limitations around that above. 

The Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card is Chase's "no fee" entrant into the lineup of Marriott Bonvoy credit cards. It is similar to the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Card but with no annual fee and no annual free night certificate. It also earns considerably less points per dollar spent.

Note When calculating your Estimated Rewards Values, Hotel spend will be considered "spend at Marriott Bonvoy hotels" for the purposes of calculating your potential reward values (in this case, 3X). Hotel spend at other brands will not earn the bonus multiplier and would only earn 2X Bonvoy points (the rate for all other travel).

The Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express has no annual fee and earns cash back with several popular bonus categories.

It features bonus cashback on groceries, gas, and department stores.

- Earn 3% cash back at US supermarkets for up to $6,000 in annual purchases; 1% thereafter.

- Earn 2% cash back at US gas stations and certain US Department Stores

- Earn 1% cash back on everything else.

0% Intro APR

Enjoy a 0% APR on new purchases for 15 months starting when you are approved for the Blue Cash Everyday card; then 13.99% to 23.99%. (Rates and Fees)

This no-fee card offers 1.25x on all purchases.

Compare this card with the standard Venture which earns 2x miles on all purchases. Spend your miles to erase purchases or transfer them to more than a dozen airlines.

Most people would fare better with the standard Capital One Venture card, despite its annual fee, because it earns at the rate of 2x per dollar instead of 1.25x.

The bonus value for the early spend bonus on this card assumes you will transfer the points to miles. If you use as a purchase eraser, the early spend bonus value will be $200, exactly.

You can transfer to more than 18 airline and hotel partners. See the full list of Capital One Miles transfer partners and transfer times.

• 2 miles per dollar on United Airlines purchases and earn 25% back on United inflight purchases
• 2 miles per dollar at gas stations,  and on local transit and commuting charges
• Earn 3 miles per $1 spent at grocery stores, on up to $1,500 per month through 9/30/2021
• Earn 1 mile per $1 spent on all other purchases
• No foreign transaction fees

Note that in calculating your rewards on this card, we are counting all airfare as 2X miles since we don't capture your spend by airline. However, please note that the 2X multiplier on airfare will only apply to United flights.

This no-fee card offers food and entertainment-centric cash back bonus categories.

With 4% cash back on dining, including takeout and delivery, 2% back on groceries, streaming, and gas, and no annual fee, our review is that the Altitude GO is a surprisingly strong card.

• 2% cash back on grocery stores and grocery delivery, streaming services and purchases at gas stations
• 1% cash back on everything else
• No annual fee

US Bank Altitude GO Credit Card Review

The bottom line is that 4% cash back on dining, including takeout, dine-in, and delivery, is extremely strong for a credit card without an annual fee. It compares to the Capital One Savor card, though that card carries an annual fee.

Beyond the 4% cash back on dining, the 2% and 1% categories aren't special, especially considering the Citi Double Cash earns 2% back on everything, all of the time. But we can't think of another card earning 4% back on dining without an annual fee.

This card is for people with a very strong credit profile. You should have a 720 or better FICO to apply for this card.

This is a simple 1.5% cash back card, though it offers a 12-month introductory rate of 1.8% cash back on purchases made with Apple Pay or Google Pay.

For new purchases or balance transfers made within the first 120 days on your new Wells Fargo Cash Wise, enjoy a 0% intro APR. (14.49%-24.99% Variable thereafter. See terms)

This no-fee card earns 2x AAdvantage miles at grocery stores, as well as 2x on American Airlines.

NOTE: In calculating your potential rewards for this card, we are assuming that all spend entered as "Airline" is on American Airlines. If some of your airline spend is on other airlines, that spend will earn 1x rather than 2x miles and reduce your expected rewards.
