Priceline VIP Rewards™ Visa®

This card is worth a look if Priceline is already one of your regular booking channels. Earning 5x points on Priceline purchases is the clear reason to carry it, and the $0 annual fee makes that upside easy to keep around without needing to justify a yearly cost. The lack of foreign transaction fees also gives it some practical travel value, especially for a no-fee card.

For most readers, though, this is not the card to center a wallet around. Outside Priceline, the rewards structure is fairly narrow, with 2x on dining and gas and 1x everywhere else. The extra perks are modest, and the Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit requires $10,000 in annual spend, which limits how meaningful that benefit will be for lighter users. If you do not book through Priceline often, a broader travel or cash-back card will usually be more useful.
