 In-Depth Credit Card Review |
This online card application is intended for residents of the United States only. For other country options, please refer to the right hand menu bar.
The Chase TravelPlus® Visa® Card, issued by Chase, is designed for those with very good credit who plan to take advantage of the travel rewards program.
Through the reward program, cardholders earn one mile for every dollar spent on general purchases and two miles for every dollar spent on travel purchases. Earned miles can be redeemed for free hotel stays, car rentals, retail gift certificates, and other various attractions. An unlimited amount of miles can be earned, and there are no blackout dates or seat restrictions applied.
The card also offers platinum cardholder benefits provided by Chase, such as up to $1,000,000 in travel accident insurance, auto rental insurance, and various travel and emergency assistance services.
The card offers an attractive 0% introductory rate on purchases and balance transfers for the first twelve months. The APR for purchases is average once the introductory rate expires. Although there is no annual fee for the credit card, there is a $29 annual fee to participate in the rewards program, which is quite reasonable.
Therefore, those who plan to take advantage of the rewards program will benefit most from what the Chase TravelPlus® Visa® Card has to offer.
Most Attractive Feature: Access to rewards program; no yearly limit on miles; 0% introductory rate.
Least Attractive Feature: Points cannot be combined with frequent flyer programs; annual fee for rewards program.
