The best airline credit card with no annual fee is the JetBlue Card because it offers 3 points per $1 spent on JetBlue purchases, 2 points per $1 spent at restaurants and grocery stores, and 1 point per $1 spent on all other purchases. Cardholders also get an initial bonus of 10,000 points for spending $1,000 in the first 90 days. This card has a 0% foreign transaction fee, too.
Best Airline Credit Cards with No Annual Fee
- Best Overall: JetBlue Card
- Best for American Airlines Flights: American Airlines AAdvantage MileUp℠ Card
- Best for Delta Flights: Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card
- Best for Travel Rewards: Chase Freedom Unlimited®
- Best for a Miles Match: Discover it® Miles
Overall, there aren’t too many airline credit cards with no annual fee. If you want to redeem miles for flights on any airline, or for any other travel expenses, Chase Freedom Unlimited® is a good option. It gives 5% cash back on travel through Chase, 3% back at restaurants and drugstores, and 1.5% back on all other purchases (plus an additional 1.5% cash back on everything, up to $20,000 spent the first year). Plus, Chase Freedom Unlimited has a $0 annual fee.

I'm not sure if there are any. I know the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard has its fee waived for the first year, but then it's $99.

Discover it Miles is definitely one of the best. 1.5 miles per dollar in purchases, and no annual fee, what's not to love?
