Executive Summary

3 KEY QUESTIONS THIS REPORT WILL ANSWER

  1. Which key emerging features do prospective US travel credit card customers value most?
  2. How can these features best attract and engage customers?
  3. How do top premium travel credit card programs compare with their competitors on key features or categories of features?

WHAT’S IN THIS REPORT? Competition to attract prospective travel credit card holders is growing fiercer as travel—along with consumers’ credit appetite—picks up. This inaugural benchmark report evaluates premium travel credit cards (with annual fees ranging from $75 to $99) based on their features across seven categories, and we weight their scores according to the results from a survey of US adults interested in a travel credit card.
