For the avid traveler, The Platinum Card® from American Express could quickly become a favorite. With a range of travel-related credits, Hilton and Marriott Bonvoy elite status (enrollment required), and access to the American Express Global Lounge Collection (for eligible card members), the card could make your jet-setting dreams a reality. 

If all that wasn’t enough, there’s even a way to avoid the hefty annual fee of $695 (see rates and fees), making the card free to hold.
