Credit Card Networks and Companies With Travel Benefits
We all know credit card networks have a significant part in how credit cards work, where they’re accepted, and the benefits they offer. Here are the that offer travel benefits:
| American Express | American Express services credit cards for specific airlines and offers credit cards with travel benefits. The American Express Platinum Card gets you complimentary access to American Express Centurion Lounge and Studio locations. The American Express Green Card allows cardholders to purchase lounge access through LoungeBuddy, an airline lounger network, saving customers from annual fees or more expensive fares to get lounge access. Cardholders can earn up to $100 in statement credits every year on their lounge access purchases. |
| Capital One | Capital One offers airport lounge access for free or at a discounted price to people with the following cards: Venture X, Venture, or Spark Miles. The Venture X card offers the best airport lounge perks - cardholders get complimentary lounge access not only for themselves but also for two guests. They also enjoy discounted pricing on any additional guests. The Venture and Spark Miles cards get you two free lounge stays a year. Any other visits or guests will cost $45 each. If you do not have any of these cards, you can still purchase lounge access for $65. |
| Chase | Chase offers the Sapphire Reserve card, where cardholders can enroll in Priority Pass, a network of lounges open to passengers of all airlines. The network boasts over 1,300 lounges in airports worldwide, including some with pre-flight spa treatments. The card also allows customers to redeem reward points for airline miles, potentially allowing discounted lounge access through a frequent flyer program. |
| Mastercard | The Black Card and Gold Card from Mastercard give cardholders complimentary access to lounges in the Priority Pass Select lounge network with no guest limit. The benefits don't stop there - the cards also come with credits for the cardholder and one guest at select airport restaurants. |
Airline Credit Cards
Choosing an airline credit card is not only about the benefits you get from it. You also have to consider your location. Some airports are dominated by a single airline, while others have more than one. Here are a few major airline credit cards from different locations that offer great benefits as well.
American
American Airlines has the AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard® through Citi. Cardholders get Admirals Club membership, granting them access to the Admirals Club lounges. You can bring up to two guests with you. Their partner British Airways has an analogous Executive Club, but membership is not available directly through a card. Members advance through tiers by purchasing flights, and only Silver and Gold members have lounge access.
Delta
Delta offers two lounge networks as part of its travel benefits. Cardholders of the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card consistently access the Delta Sky Club when flying with the airline. If you book your flight with the card, you also get access to the Centurion® Lounge from American Express.
Lufthansa
Lufthansa offers the Miles & More® World Elite Mastercard®. Cardholders get two complimentary Lufthansa Business Lounge Vouchers every year. If you are not a Lufthansa cardholder but fly with the airline frequently, you can also access Lufthansa lounges based on your Frequent Traveller tier. Even a single trip with the airline could get you into a lounge. Business and First Class passengers get lounge access with their seats.
United
United offers three cards with airport lounge access:
- United Explorer
- United Club Infinite
- United Club Business
The United Explorer card gets cardholders two United Club passes annually. The United Club Infinite and United Club Business cards give cardholders United Club membership, which gets them into United Club Lounges.
