The Platinum Card® from American Express
Travel Rewards
Sign-up Bonus
No Foreign Transaction Fee
Our take
For anyone travelling full time, part time, or at least somewhat frequently, the card’s annual fee should be no issue at all. The travel credit alone covers the most of it, and whatever is left you can easily make up with rewards points and additional travel perks.
