If you stay at a hotel even semi-frequently, a cobranded hotel card can be a great option. These hotel cards have annual fees that range from zero to several hundred dollars. Although cards with annual fees tend to have better earning rates, no-annual-fee options still provide value.
Two big hotel chains, Marriott and Hilton, each offer a compelling no-annual-fee card worth considering: the Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card (see rates and fees) and the Hilton Honors American Express Card (see rates and fees).
Both cards get you entry-level elite status and have comparable bonus categories to help you earn points with every purchase.
