Question
Which Travel Rewards card would be best for me?
I'm only 19, yes, I know I'm still young to get the best cards out there, but my credit is already anywhere between 690-710, depending which bureau, and I'm expecting to pay off most of my car within the next year. But back to the question, things have changed and I will be traving somewhat frequently to Oklahoma from Los Angeles (1,300 miles each way), for about a week or so every 2 months. I can charge about $1,000 a month to my card and pay off the entire balance within the same month prior to the compounding of interest. That said, which Travel rewards card would be best for me? I've read into AmEx Skymiles which gives 20k points/miles bonus upon the first purchase, and as far as im concerned 25k miles is a free ticket, but is that a round trip ticket or just one way? Im not so sure how these work. Any explanation/suggestion is very welcome! 10 points for the best effort to help. THANKS!

Sorry, but I hate travel rewards cards. It is nearly impossible to get the flights you want, and once you do your flight, then you have to do your return flight separately, so it's the same nightmare all over again. Ask anyone that has tried it. Have you figured out how much cash that would come out to be? You might be better off with a 2% cash back card. I worked the numbers - cash back was the better deal for me. Work the numbers in an excell spreadsheet. Don't forget Amex's annual fee. /
