Yes, there are several elite credit cards with no annual fee, the best of which is the Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card. This card requires a minimum of good credit for approval and offers perks such as 1.25 - 5 miles per $1 spent on purchases and an initial bonus of 20,000 miles for spending $500 in the first 3 months of account opening.

- Balance transfers: U.S. Bank Visa® Platinum Card

- Business: Ink Business Cash® Credit Card
The Ink Cash is an elite $0 annual fee card because it has a lot of bonus categories. You get 1 - 5% cash back, depending on the type of purchase.

At the end of the day, elite and no annual fee are not always synonymous when it comes to credit cards. Cards with annual fees tend to offer more rewards and benefits. Generally, the higher the annual fee, the more rewards you get. Some of the most elite credit cards with fees include the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card and the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card.
