In this blog post, I will walk you through the steps on how to fund and use United’s TravelBank.
Since some credit cards provide travel credits that expire within a year, depositing money in United’s TravelBank is a viable option to utilize those credits so they won’t go to waste.
Funds diverted into United’s TravelBank have a 5-year lifespan, offering some level of longevity and a lot of flexibility, especially since travel is not expected to pick up again anytime soon.
Whether you have plans this year or in the near future, funding your United TravelBank with free cash from your credit cards is a wallet-friendly strategy that can potentially save you a few hundred dollars when the time comes that you need to book your next flight.
United TravelBank
According to United, your TravelBank funds can either be used alone or in combination with select forms of payment only when booking United or United Express flights .
Therefore, we are unable to use United TravelBank to purchase flight itineraries that include segments on partner airlines such as Air Canada, Lufthansa, etc.
I was also unsuccessful in tapping my TravelBank reserves to pay for taxes when booking an award ticket or paying additional fees to cover the airfare difference when redeeming a voucher or rebooking a travel credit.
However, I did not encounter any roadblocks when I booked paid United tickets, even if the airfare was Basic Economy .
Terms and Conditions
The information below was taken from United.com
- Passengers can select from six purchase amount options, and once purchased, the value remains valid for five years from the date it is deposited in your TravelBank account.
- Purchases are not refundable and are limited to $5,000 per day per MileagePlus account.
- This purchase is also subject to all of the TravelBank terms and conditions .
- United has the right to terminate this promotion or to change the promotion’s terms and conditions, rules, regulations, policies and procedures, benefits, and/or conditions of participation, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice.
Guide on How to Fund United’s TravelBank
Access United TravelBank by clicking the button below. You will need to log in to your United Mileage Plus Account to purchase.
Do not have a United membership yet?
It is free and easy to register. Click the button below to enroll in United’s Mileage Plus Program.
After logging in, you will see your United Mileage Account, any United miles you have available for redemption, and your TravelBank Cash Balance.
Plus Points – a points system that passengers can utilize to upgrade their flights – will also show up, but we will not go over that in this post. You can read more about this program here.
Select the amount of travel cash you want to purchase.
As previously stated, there are six possible amounts that you can elect to deposit to your TravelBank.
The next page will ask for you to type in your Payment Information.
In this case, you would want to use a credit card that provides an Airline Credit.
I will list these credit cards in one of the sections below.
You will then get confirmation that your purchase was successful. A receipt will be emailed immediately after as well.
In this example, I used my The Business Platinum Card® from American Express to buy $100 worth of travel cash in United’s TravelBank.
Guide on How to Use Your United Travel Bank Cash
Thankfully, we are generously given five years to spend our travel cash.
Once you are ready to book your flight, log back on to your United.com profile and enter your travel details.
United TravelBank purchased using certain IHG Credit Cards has a shorter lifespan. Please check the terms of your IHG Credit Cards for the most current UnitedTravel Bank policy.
Select your particular flight, verify your personal information, and pick your seat.
Afterward, you will be directed to the Payment Page.
Next, United will offer you travel insurance (select yes/no), priority boarding, and miles for purchase.
Regardless of whether you decide or decline to purchase these additional bells and whistles, the payment section comes right after.
You have the following payment options:
- Pay In Full
- Pay Monthly
- Travel Certificates and United TravelBank Cash (if this option does not appear, then the ticket you’re buying is not a permitted purchase using travel cash.)
- Other Forms of Payments (PayPal, etc)
- Debit / Credit Card
Select “Travel Certificates and United TravelBank Cash.”
As you can see, my $100 travel bank deposit is already reflected in my account.
Next, enter the amount you want to use for the flight you wish to book.
It is not necessary to spend your entire stash of United travel cash if you have other plans to spend it later.
Once you have a final amount in mind, click apply.
In this example, I decided to spend $75 of the $100 currently in my United TravelBank.
After your travel cash is deducted, the total amount you still owe will automatically be calculated.
Continue with your purchase by selecting the mode of payment you want to use for the remaining balance.
I highly recommend paying a portion of the flight with a credit card that offers travel protections, such as the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or the Chase Sapphire Reserve®.
Alternatively, you can purchase travel insurance to cover your entire trip.
Where Do I Find My TravelBank Account?
United has recently updated its website. You can find your United TravelBank account information and balance by navigating to your United Wallet on the app and the computer.
Troubleshooting Potential Issues
Issue 1: united travelbank does not show up.
A few readers have expressed that they are having difficulty locating the TravelBank option on United’s website.
It appears that United’s site is currently updating its payment page. When you see the notice below under “Payment Method, ” click the “find those payment options…” link.
This link will direct you to the “United Travel Options” section, where you can add travel insurance to your purchase. Make your selection.
Afterward, you will be directed to “Payment Information,” where the TravelBank option appears.
Click “Travel Certificates and United TravelBank Cash” and select Travel Cash as your mode of payment.
Type the amount you would like to spend.
As suggested, charge a small portion of your airfare on a credit card that provides travel insurance, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or the Chase Sapphire Reserve®.
You may also elect to purchase travel insurance for additional coverage.
Issue 2: United TravelBank Keeps On Freezing
While booking a plane ticket to Cabo costing $167.78 recently, I found the United website struggling to process my TravelBank payment, ultimately freezing the payment page.
After attempting various troubleshooting strategies, I eventually made it work by typing a whole number into the TravelBank box.
In this case, I redeemed $165 of my TravelBank credits towards the purchase of this ticket and used a credit card that gives travel protections ( Chase Sapphire Reserve® ) to cover the remaining amount ($2.78).
Issue 3: TravelBank is Unable to Add a New Credit Card (Payment Error)
United.com can only save a certain number of credit cards on your profile.
If the website is not allowing you to add another credit card to your United TravelBank account, you will need to log in to your main United.com account, go to “Wallet,” remove the credit cards that you no longer use, and then add the ones you would like saved.
Once your new credit card is linked, note the last four digits of your card and its expiration date so you can easily find it on your list of saved cards when you try to purchase United TravelBank funds again.
Issue 4: Unable to Purchase
As mentioned above, your United TravelBank funds can either be used alone or in combination with select forms of payment when booking United or United Express flights only.
When Do United TravelBank Funds Expire?
As of this update, TravelBank funds appear to expire after five years.
The screenshot below, captured from my TravelBank account, supports this assertion.
While the money deposited in our United TravelBank accounts has a 5-year validity, it can be forfeited if no activity is recorded in our TravelBank accounts for 18 consecutive months.
Therefore, ensure that you either add money to your TravelBank or use your TravelBank funds to purchase tickets at least once every 18 months.
Heads Up: United also stipulated that any re-deposited funds originating from canceled tickets purchased with TravelBank money do not qualify as an eligible activity. In short, any re-deposited funds will NOT reset the expiration date.
United may also change the expiration date of subsequent deposits or discontinue the program altogether. Only time will tell.
For now, this option to convert our credit card airline credits to some form of flexible currency is available, so certainly consider this method if you are running out of ways to redeem your expiring credits.
Which Credit Cards to Use?
You should only purchase TravelBank funds when you anticipate no other eligible travel-related purchases for the remainder of the year.
Chase Credit Cards
Chase sapphire reserve® (csr).
The Chase Sapphire Reserve (CSR) comes with a $300 travel credit that resets every year on the card member’s anniversary date and does not roll over onto the following year; therefore, you either use it or lose it.
I do not recommend using your CSR travel credits to purchase funds on United’s TravelBank, given that Chase provides an extensive array of valuable avenues to redeem this credit.
In addition to the traditional airfare purchase, you can also trigger the travel credit when paying for public transit, ride-sharing services, parking, hotels, campgrounds, cruises, etc.
Citi Credit Cards
Citi prestige® credit card.
This card is no longer available to new applicants.
This credit card comes with a $250 travel credit, which can now be conveniently spent on groceries, restaurants, and take-out.
Like the Chase Sapphire Reserve, this credit resets every calendar year and likewise does not roll over.
I do not suggest using your Citi Prestige travel credits to purchase United TravelBank funds because of other beneficial spending options you have at your disposal.
American Express Credit Cards
American express® credit cards with airline fee credits.
- The Platinum Card® from American Express ($200 Annual Airline Credit)
- The Business Platinum Card® from American Express ($200 Annual Airline Credit)
- Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card ($50 Quarterly Airline Credit)
American Express’s airline fee credit is challenging to redeem compared to Chase’s and Citi’s more flexible identical offerings.
In the past several years, consumers consistently find themselves jumping through hoops in search of effective methods to capitalize on these generous offers.
First and foremost, Chase and Citi do not require activation – their credits apply to all airlines and other forms of travel.
Whereas Amex’s airline fee credit will not work unless you activate it.
Plus, it can only be used on one airline you pre-select, ideally at the beginning of the year.
Even though there are data points (DP) that Amex has been lenient in allowing the preferred airline to be changed via chat as of late, there is no way to predict until when they will allow this.
AMEX Airline Fee Credit Restrictions
AMEX has strict restrictions on what fees qualify under this credit.
Technically, only incidental purchases, such as seat assignments, baggage fees, change fees, lounge access fees, and food/beverage inflight purchases, are eligible.
As such, traditional expenses such as award fees, plane tickets, upgrades, and gift cards do not qualify.
But occasionally, we see additional methods that temporarily open up that trigger this airline fee credit – and for now, United TravelBank is one of them.
While no language explicitly states this particular purchase will not qualify, I have to underscore that Amex can undoubtedly claw back this credit at any moment if they deem that TravelBank is not eligible. So, just be aware of that possibility.
Hence, please utilize this tactic only if you do not anticipate using your airline fee credit throughout the rest of the year.
Steps in Selecting Your Airline With Amex
Before you go ahead with your purchase, follow the steps below on selecting your preferred airline, as AMEX does not make it simple to locate where to activate this benefit.
To optimize this TravelBank strategy, make sure that the airline you selected is United.
Go to AmericanExpress.com, then log in to your account.
Select the particular AMEX credit card that currently offers an airline fee credit.
- The Platinum Card® from American Express
- The Business Platinum Card® from American Express
- Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card
On the main page, click “More, ” then select “ Benefits .”
On the Benefits page, scroll down to locate “ Airline Fee Credit. ”
This is where you can also change your selected airline for the year.
It bears repeating that you’re technically not allowed to change your preferred airline mid-year, so choose wisely.
With that said, there are data points from people reporting that they have successfully modified their airline choice by contacting AMEX through chat, but this is YMMV (your mileage might vary).
As of this writing, you can use your airline fee credit with the following U.S. carriers:
While on the Benefits page, enroll in all the offers available to you even if you are not sure you will use them.
It is practically money you had already paid for when you paid your annual fee, so you might as well take advantage of it.
At any rate, maximizing this airline fee credit is a fantastic way to offset the steep annual fees Amex charges on their ultra-premium cards.
Add funds to your travel credit using your AMEX card.
If you are unsure how much airline credit you have left, AMEX generates a tracker under this benefit to display your remaining funds.
Periodically check your Amex credit card to see if the airline fee credit was successfully triggered.
If not, Amex has likely terminated this redemption method.
Final Thoughts
Indeed, United’s TravelBank is a wonderful addition to the dwindling menu of possible purchases that can activate Amex’s elusive airline credit.
Being fully aware that this method is temporary, I try to take advantage of it while it’s still possible, especially when I am on the verge of running out of redemption alternatives for my Amex airline fee credit.
I hope that Amex follows Chase’s and Citi’s lead and relaxes this benefit, making it much easier to redeem in the future.
Until then, we will have to adjust to American Express’ policies.
Ultimately, I am glad that United’s TravelBank provides us with another fantastic alternative for using our travel credits.
Not only does it prolong the shelf-life of our funds, but it also affords us the flexibility we genuinely need.

Bank of America Premium card also include benefits of $100 incidental travel credits, can I use it to purchase United Travel Bank fund too?
Hi Angie, I am not familiar with Bank of America rules but upon checking what qualifies under “incidental”, I got the following info: Get up to $100 in Airline Incidental Statement Credits annually for qualifying purchases such as seat upgrades, baggage fees, in-flight services, and airline lounge fees – automatically applied to your card statement.
It seems to me that this is similar to Amex. I would suggest purchasing the lowest allowed denomination of $50 to see if it would trigger it but if you have anticipated travel in the near future, I suggest redeeming the credits there instead.
Hi, I booked the ticket and when I entered the payment page, there is no Travel Bank part, I got 200+ dollars in travel bank and cannot seem to use it. Why is this? I can only see “Travel certificates” instead of “Travel certificates and United Travel Bank Cash”. What should i do?
Hi Tristan, thanks for asking. Sorry about that. Not all purchases in United.com are eligible. I wonder if the ticket you are purchasing includes a partner airline. From the Terms and Conditions: “TravelBank Cash is valid for air travel purchases on United and United Express® flights and as otherwise permitted by United. After a TravelBank Award is issued, a service charge may be imposed for each change or cancellation requested by the Member.”
I have encountered this exact problem and I am definitely booking a United airline airfare (from LAX – EWR): any more update on this?
HI Cindy, I had updated the post with hopefully a potential solution to your problem. Jump to the section “What to do? United Travel Bank Does Not Show Up”. I tried your route (LAX-EWR) and the steps I outlined worked in making Travel bank re-appear! Good luck and please let me know if it worked for you too!
Thank you for this post and the very detailed instructions!!! Really helpful as I’ll be using this as long as we can get that $200 credit from Amex Plat!
Thank you Tony for the kind feedback. I am glad you found it useful. Please feel free to ask questions anytime.
Great information, thank you!
Thank you so much!
Its unfortunate you can’t use your Travel Bank just to upgrade your seat. Or pay for the bundles upon checkout
I am sorry! Sadly, it is just not as flexible 🙁 But United might make some changes in the future that will allow us to use it for incidentals.
Newbie to United Travel Funds.
Is it possible to use it for booking a ticket for anyone else, any restrictions?
You can book it for anyone else. When they cancel though, the travel credits will be under their account.
This article saved me 30mins! I was typing a non-whole number to use my United Travel Bank and it would NOT take it. Apparently, it needs to be a WHOLE NUMBER. Thanks for the tip!
Glad you found it useful!
Can you combine miles and a travel bank balance? I have 33k miles I need to use and $600 in travel bank credits.
Unfortunately, you can not mix miles and travel bank balance. I’d use the travel bank first if you find cheap tickets as those expire. United miles do not expire.
Hi, how long does the Amex Airline Credit usually take? It’s been a week now and my credits have not shown up yet.
HI Kunal. It’s been about 10 days, on average, for me.
I wanted to add that you Travel Bank does not come up as an option to pay if your flight involves a leg operated by a partner airline (eg. Swiss Air).
I called United to see if they could book the ticket but it errored out for the representative and he gave me that as the reason.
This might be helpful to incorporate in your article.
HI Stephanie, thank you for sharing. That’s correct. Apologies that it was not clear in the article. Yes, it is sadly for United and United Express flights only. I highlighted that part of the article and added additional language under Troubleshooting so it’s much clearer. Thanks so much again for the feedback and Safe travels!

[Update] United TravelBank Is Back
Update 1/14/22: From reader Kyle: For those experiencing issues with payment not going through, add the card to your united account as a payment method and then use the saved payment card to pay for the travel bank purchase. That work around is working at the moment.
Update 1/8/22: Travel credits now posting as well.
The United Airlines TravelBank feature was down for a few days, but has now returned.
United TravelBank link
Lots of people like using their AmEx incidental airline credit to load their United TravelBank account with funds which can be used for the next 5 years. Anecdotally, these purchases have worked to trigger the airline credit; hopefully that lasts.
Just be sure to select United as your Amex airline option first. Also be sure not to leave the TravelBank account dormant for more than 18 months . (Update: some speculate that the 18-month dormancy does not apply to the newer TravelBank loads. Regardless, if you load your TravelBank once every 18 months, or you use up some of your TravelBank balance within the 18 months, that resets your 18-month clock.)
Hat tip to FM and to reader Mike

How to pick the right travel credit card for you
Editor's Note
So you've decided to get a travel credit card — congratulations. Now comes the hard part: finding the card that makes the most sense for your wallet.
With so many options on the market, it can be difficult to pick out what kind of credit card will offer you the most value based on your lifestyle and spending habits. To help you make the decision that's best for you, follow these four simple steps.
Decide between a cobranded or general travel rewards card
First and foremost, you'll want to consider the type of travel card you want and the type of rewards you wish to earn. There are two main categories to consider here: cobranded travel credit cards and general travel rewards credit cards.
Cobranded travel credit cards are affiliated with a particular airline or hotel and often come with brand-specific travel benefits. For airline cards , that means perks like free checked bags, priority boarding and inflight discounts. Hotel cards may include annual hotel credits or automatic hotel elite status.
Since cobranded cards help you earn rewards within a specific travel program, they're best suited for frequent travelers loyal to a particular brand, like United Airlines or Marriott.
General travel rewards credit cards allow you to earn rewards within a credit card rewards program with various redemption options. With a general travel card, you might be able to transfer your rewards to multiple airline and hotel loyalty programs or use them to book travel through your card issuer's travel portal. You may also be able to redeem your rewards for statement credits, gift cards and select merchandise.
General travel credit cards are typically better for those who want flexibility in their rewards without being tied to a specific airline or hotel brand.

Find a valuable welcome offer
Next, you'll want to identify a card with a hefty — yet achievable — welcome offer, which can sometimes single-handedly justify your ownership of the card for years on end.
Take stock of your ability to meet the minimum spending requirements on a given offer. For example, the popular Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card 's typical welcome offer is 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. Spending $4,000 in three months isn't a terribly high bar to clear, but make sure you can meet that spending level if you're considering getting the card.
Rewards cards with higher welcome offers typically come with higher minimum spending requirements. You'll also want to keep an eye on card offer histories and potentially take advantage of any elevated welcome offers on cards you're interested in.

Maximize bonus categories
If you've found a card with a nice sign-up bonus, be sure that it has bonus categories conducive to your spending habits so that you can take advantage of them as much as possible.
If you spend a lot in a given category, like restaurants, groceries or travel , find a card that earns multiple points or miles per dollar when you spend at those places. Predictably, most travel cards also offer bonus rewards when you spend on travel, with Marriott Bonvoy cards offering bonus rewards at Marriott properties, for example, or more general Chase cards offering bonuses when you book travel through Chase Travel℠ .
Welcome offers and bonus categories will make up a major chunk of how you earn rewards, so choose wisely.
Justify the annual fee
Lastly, we recommend only considering the cards with perks that will make a difference to you, with benefits that will help you justify an annual fee (if the card has one) and that you can derive value from the next time you book a trip.
For example, premium offerings like The Platinum Card® from American Express offer lavish perks that are seemingly never-ending. The Amex Platinum has well over $1,400 worth of benefits and statement credits, mostly to offset its $695 annual fee (see rates and fees ), but if you can't take advantage of those perks and find yourself paying almost $700 for benefits you aren't taking advantage of, the card won't be worth it.
There are plenty of cards with no annual fee , which is a good place to start. That said, most annual fees on cards are justifiable and can be more than offset if you use the card and its perks wisely.

Bottom line
With so many cards on the market, we know it can be difficult to find the one that's right for you, especially if you're new to the world of points and miles . Our advice is to go for a general travel rewards card if you are a free agent or a specific airline or hotel card if you are loyal to a particular brand. Follow the simple steps in this guide to help narrow your options, and keep it locked on TPG for more advice on finding the right card to help fund your next big trip.

United TravelBank Card overview
The newest Chase and United credit card partnership, launched in September 2017, is its most bare-bones offering yet. The United TravelBank Card has no annual fee but none of the perks that typically come with an airline rewards card .
This is fine for infrequent travelers looking to earn a few rewards, but probably not worth it to others.
A deeper look into the current card offer
Quick highlights.
- Rewards rate : Earn 2% in TravelBank cash per $1 spent on tickets purchased from United.* Earn 1.5% in TravelBank cash per $1 spent on all other purchases.*
- Annual fee : $0
- Intro offer : $150 in United TravelBank cash after you spend $1,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.*
- Regular APR : 15.99% to 22.99% (variable)
The fifth in a line of Chase and United co-branded cards, the United TravelBank Card pays rewards in the form of TravelBank cash, which can be redeemed toward flight purchases or airline incidentals. It’s also the first no-fee United credit card.
The card pays a respectable 2% in TravelBank cash when you purchase United tickets and 1.5% TravelBank cash for all other purchases. It also offers a 25% rebate as a statement credit on your card when you use it to buy food or beverages on board a United-operated flight.
Chase and United also are offering a new cardholder bonus of $150 in TravelBack cash after you make $1,000 in purchases during your first three months.
For someone who flies a few times a year and prefers to do so on United, this card could be an OK way to save money on travel expenses.
To earn enough TravelBank cash for a free round-trip flight (the average cost of a domestic round-trip flight is $351.85, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation), you’d have to spend about $18,000 on United flights or $24,000 on non-United purchases. You may ultimately find more value using a different credit card.
In exchange for not paying an annual fee, you’re also giving up the perks that come with other United co-branded airline cards, like a free checked bag on each trip, United Club passes, priority boarding and bigger sign-up bonuses. Ultimately, the lack of perks is what cost this card points in our eyes.
The card does come with Visa Signature benefits, which include discounts and upgrades at hotels in the Luxury Hotel & Resort Collection.
If you fly regularly on United, you’ll likely be better off with the United Explorer Card, which has a $95 annual fee (waived the first year). This includes a free first checked bag for you and a companion on your reservation, which could save up to $160 per round trip, plus priority boarding. You’ll also receive two United Club passes on your card anniversary. The earnings rate is similar to the TravelBank Card, so if you fly at least once a year with a companion and checked luggage on a round-trip United flight, the United Explorer is the better choice.
This card could be a good choice for someone who likes flying United, wants to earn rewards toward free flights but doesn’t want to pay an annual fee.
- There’s no annual or foreign transaction fees with this card.
- You’ll pay a variable APR of 16.99% to 23.99% based on creditworthiness.
- Late payments won’t affect your APR, but there is a late fee of up to $37 if you miss a payments or make a late one.
Cardholders get a 25% rebate of their food and beverage purchases made onboard a United flight.
This card is a Visa Signature card so it comes with discounts and upgrades at hotels that are part of The Luxury Hotel & Resort Collection. It provides some auto and travel insurance, including roadside dispatch and lost luggage reimbursement.
TravelBank cash can be redeemed on the United website by logging into your Mileage Plus account. There’s no minimum amount required to redeem and you can use your TravelBank cash for full or partial payment of airline tickets.

The United℠ TravelBank Card is no longer accepting applications. United Airlines and Chase have introduced a new credit card with no annual fee, the United Gateway℠ Card , which effectively takes the place of the TravelBank Card. Read our review of the United Gateway℠ Card , or explore other United Airlines credit card options . Below is our review of the United℠ TravelBank Card from when the card was still on the market.
If you fly United Airlines, the United℠ TravelBank Card might be tempting because of its annual fee of $0 . But it ultimately might not be worthwhile for most United flyers because of all that it lacks as an airline card.
The card has its own rewards currency that you can use to book free United flights. And its rewards rate is decent for both United spending and all other spending. It’s kind of like a cash-back card, where you can spend the cash only at United.
But you won't get free checked bags or early boarding like you do with many airline cards. And you won’t earn United MileagePlus miles, the airline’s frequent-flyer miles that have a chance at returning huge value.
If you want a card like this one, just get a true cash-back card . Then, you can spend your cash rewards on anything, not just United flights. Otherwise, ante up for a United card with an annual fee that comes with useful airline perks. There’s a good option in the United℠ Explorer Card .

Simple rewards earning
With a typical airline card, you earn frequent flyer miles or points with every purchase. You then redeem those rewards for free flights or seat upgrades. But frequent flyer programs can be exceedingly complicated. The number of miles you’ll need for a particular flight depends on an array of factors. On top of that, the flight you want might not have award seats available. And your preferred travel dates might be “blacked out” — that is, reserved for paying customers.
The United℠ TravelBank Card eliminates the whole idea of miles. Instead, you earn “TravelBank cash,” which is redeemable for travel with United on a simple dollar-for-dollar basis.
The card earns 2% back on United purchases and 1.5% back on everything else. A $500 United flight, for example, would earn $10 in TravelBank cash. A $500 purchase elsewhere would earn $7.50.
Simple rewards redemption
When booking a flight with United, you can pay some or all of the fare with your accumulated TravelBank cash rewards. Consider a ticket that costs $400. If you had at least $400 in TravelBank cash, you could use it to pay the entire fare. If you had only $50 in rewards accumulated, you could apply it to the fare and reduce the cost to $350.
Some travel credit cards have annual fees measured in hundreds of dollars, while the typical airline card often charges a fee of close to $100 per year. This card has an annual fee of $0 .
Sign-up bonus
For a simple credit card with an annual fee of $0 , it’s a pleasant surprise to have a sign-up bonus: $150 in United TravelBank cash after you spend $1,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.

The United℠ TravelBank Card is light on flash compared with most travel cards, but it comes with minor perks:
In-flight discount: 25% back as a statement credit on purchases of food, beverages and Wi-Fi onboard United-operated flights when you pay with the card.
No foreign transaction fees: Travel cards generally don’t charge a fee — 3% is common — for making purchases abroad. This United card doesn’t, either. And it uses the Visa network, which is widely accepted abroad.
Travel-related insurances: Trip cancellation/interruption insurance and secondary rental car insurance are nice-to-haves on an airline card.
Purchase protection: Covers new purchases made with the card for 120 days against damage or theft, up to $500 per claim and $50,000 per account.
How it compares with other United cards
The United℠ TravelBank Card is one of three co-branded consumer United Airlines credit cards. Its siblings pack more perks.
Here’s how they compare on key features:
Business owners, even those with side gigs, might consider the United℠ Business Card .

No checked bags or early boarding
At $35 per bag each way when you don't prepay, fees for first checked bags add up in a hurry, especially when you’re traveling with others on your itinerary. That’s why typical airline cards are so valuable. But this card has no checked-bag-fee waivers, so you’ll have to pay. And you won’t get boosted toward the front of the boarding line, because the card lacks a priority boarding perk. That could hurt you when looking for overhead bin space.
» MORE: Airline credit cards that offer free checked bags
The logical solution is the United℠ Explorer Card . It offers:
2 MileagePlus miles per dollar spent on purchases from United.
2 miles per dollar spent on restaurant purchases and hotel stays.
1 mile per dollar spent on all other purchases.
First checked bag free for you and a companion on your reservation, if you use the card to purchase your ticket.
Two United Club one-time use passes per year.
Global Entry/TSA Precheck statement credit every four years.
25% off in-flight purchases.
Sign-up bonus: Limited-time offer: Earn 60,000 bonus miles after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months your account is open.
It has an annual fee of $0 intro for the first year, then $95 .
» MORE: Full review of the United℠ Explorer Card
You won’t earn United MileagePlus miles with this card. That keeps things simple, but you also lose the potential to reap outsize value by scoring a great awards seat — like a business-class international fare worth thousands of dollars — for relatively little spending.
Fewer benefits
Some airline cards give you perks at the airport. They might reimburse you the application cost of Global Entry or TSA Precheck to get through security lines quicker, or get you free or discounted passes to an airport lounge.
This card offers none of those.
» MORE: Cards that offer airport lounge access
Limited reward redemptions
Redeeming rewards is relatively simple, but you’re still locked into United Airlines. That's limiting compared with general travel credit cards , which allow you to apply rewards to a wide range of travel-related expenses.
An option for those looking to avoid an annual fee is the Bank of America® Travel Rewards credit card .
1.5 points per dollar spent.
3 points per dollar spent on eligible travel booked through the Bank of America® Travel Center.
A value of 1 cent per point when redeemed for travel credit and a little over half a cent per point for cash.
A sign-up bonus.
The Bank of America® Travel Rewards credit card isn't tied to an airline or hotel chain. Book travel any way you want, with no restrictions and no blackout dates, and then use points to wipe out the cost on your statement. Bank of America® also has one of the broadest definitions of "travel" of any major issuers. You can use points to get credit for airfare, hotel stays, cruises, car rentals, campgrounds, art galleries, amusement parks, carnivals, circuses, aquariums and zoos.

The United℠ TravelBank Card offers a simpler way to earn free flights on United Airlines for casual flyers committed to that airline. But honestly, you’re better off with a cash-back credit card .
If you spread your flying among a number of carriers or want more flexibility, consider a general travel credit card . United loyalists are likely to get more value from the United℠ Explorer Card .
Information related to the United℠ TravelBank Card has been collected by NerdWallet and has not been reviewed or provided by the issuer of this card.
This card earns bonus rewards in multiple categories, including dining and travel. You can transfer points on a 1:1 basis to about a dozen hotel and airline programs, including United, or you can use them to book travel through Chase at 1.25 cents per point. However, you won't get any airline-specific perks. Annual fee: $95 .

Methodology.
NerdWallet reviews credit cards with an eye toward both the quantitative and qualitative features of a card. Quantitative features are those that boil down to dollars and cents, such as fees, interest rates, rewards (including earning rates and redemption values) and the cash value of benefits and perks. Qualitative factors are those that affect how easy or difficult it is for a typical cardholder to get good value from the card. They include such things as the ease of application, simplicity of the rewards structure, the likelihood of using certain features, and whether a card is well-suited to everyday use or is best reserved for specific purchases. Our star ratings serve as a general gauge of how each card compares with others in its class, but star ratings are intended to be just one consideration when a consumer is choosing a credit card.

Best for United Airlines loyalists
United gateway℠ card.
Earn 2X miles on United purchases, at gas stations and on local transit and commuting. Earn 1X miles on all other purchases.
The Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card has everything you need to start any journey off on the right foot. New cardholders can get 20,000 bonus miles simply for spending $500 within three months of opening an account, a great deal for a no-annual-fee card. VentureOne Rewards also gives you 1.25x miles for every dollar spent and 5x miles on hotels and rental cars through Capital One Travel.
Although VentureOne Rewards has a generous welcome offer, it has a low reward rate on non-travel purchases, so there’s no opportunity to earn extra based on your other spending habits. It’s also reserved for consumers with excellent credit, so it can be difficult to get approved.

The Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card is the best no-annual-fee travel credit card for loyal Delta Air Lines customers, as you get to rack up SkyMiles every time you make a purchase. You can use those miles to get free or discounted airfare, cover your checked bag fees, book with Delta Vacations or make in-flight purchases. We also love that the SkyMiles® Blue card has no foreign transaction fees, making it a great fit for international travelers.
If you don’t fly frequently, or you prefer to book the cheapest tickets instead of staying loyal to one airline, the Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card probably isn’t the best fit. Most of the redemption options are Delta-focused, so you won’t be able to use many of your perks if you don’t take at least a few Delta flights per year.

The Hilton Honors American Express Card is one of the best no-annual-fee travel credit cards because it helps you earn free nights and other perks at participating Hilton properties. This makes it a great fit for anyone loyal to Hilton over other hotel chains. You earn 7 points per dollar spent on all purchases made with participating Hilton hotels and resorts, 5 miles per dollar spent on dining and 5 miles per dollar spent at U.S. supermarkets.
One of the biggest drawbacks of the Hilton Honors American Express Card is that many of the benefits relate to Hilton stays. If you take a lot of day trips rather than overnight ones, you may not be able to use your Hilton Honors Points often enough to justify having the card.

IHG owns more than a dozen hotel brands, so the IHG One Rewards Traveler Credit Card from Chase may be a good fit if you love to stay at IHG properties when you travel. This card gives you 80,000 bonus points if you spend at least $2,000 on purchases within three months of opening an account. You also earn up to 17 points for every dollar spent at IHG hotels and resorts.
Although this card has plenty of perks, it may not be the best fit for your needs if you don’t travel often, or if you prefer to book with non-IHG hotel brands. You also have to spend at least $20,000 on the card each year to qualify for Gold Status with IHG’s loyalty program.
Chase Freedom Unlimited® is one of the best travel cards with no annual fee because it gives you 5% back on all travel booked through the Chase Travel portal and 3% on purchases made at restaurants and drugstores. We love that this card comes with tons of extra benefits, such as a three-month DashPass subscription, 5% cash back on Lyft rides and a three-month Instacart+ membership.
The Chase Freedom Unlimited® card may not be the best fit if you prefer to book directly with travel vendors rather than using a dedicated travel portal. You also need good or excellent credit to qualify to get approved for this card.

The Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express comes with access to the Global Assist® Hotline and complimentary car rental loss and damage insurance. Global Assist® connects you with trained professionals who can help you make travel plans. You also earn 3% back on your first $6,000 in purchases at U.S. gas stations each year (then 1%), making this card ideal for users who prefer to drive to their destinations instead of flying or taking public transportation.
Blue Cash Everyday makes it easy to earn cash back, but it has a limited number of travel benefits, so it may not be the right fit if you want to maximize your earnings on flights, hotel stays and other travel expenses. It also has a foreign transaction fee, so it’s not ideal for overseas travel.

Eligibility and Benefit level varies by Card. Terms, Conditions, and Limitations Apply. Please visit americanexpress.com/benefitsguide for more details. Underwritten by Amex Assurance Company.
The United Gateway℠ Card from Chase gives you 2 miles per dollar spent on all United Airlines purchases, making it ideal for users who always fly with United rather than using multiple airlines. Cardholders also get 2X miles on gas station purchases and local transit/commuting expenses.
Many card benefits, such as 25% cash back on in-flight food and drinks, only apply to United purchases. If you don’t book with United very often, you may benefit more from getting a different travel credit card with no annual fee.
No annual fee means you don’t pay a fee each year just to keep your account open. You may have to meet other account requirements, but there’s no cost to maintain your card.
Travel credit cards give you points, miles and other rewards on common travel expenses, including airfare, hotel stays and train tickets. A no-annual-fee travel credit card gives you the best of both worlds. You can earn rewards based on your travel habits without paying money to keep your account active.
How do travel credit cards with no annual fee work?
When you have a credit card with an annual fee, you have to pay the same amount of money every year no matter how much you use the card. If you have a no-annual-fee credit card , you don’t have to pay a fee to keep your account open.
This is a major benefit for budget-conscious travelers who want to earn rewards without forking over cold, hard cash. If there’s no annual fee, there’s also no need to worry about using the card often enough to break even.
The best travel credit cards with no annual fee are ideal for casual travelers, as there’s no charge to keep your account active. If you don’t travel for a year or two, you don’t have to worry about getting charged for a dormant account.
These cards may also be a good fit for students studying abroad or users who don’t have a ton of experience managing credit. If you plan to study abroad, look for a student credit card with no annual fee that also doesn’t charge any foreign transaction fees.
- Opportunities to earn points, miles or cash back on your travel expenses
- Access to partner benefits, such as status upgrades within hotel and rental car loyalty programs
- Ability to transfer rewards to partner companies
- May have limited benefits due to the lack of an annual fee
- General-purpose credit cards usually offer more redemption options
- Some companies require you to book through a branded portal to take advantage of your travel benefits
Keep these factors in mind as you search for the best credit card for travel with no annual fee.
Rewards credit cards for travel typically offer points, miles or cash back on each eligible purchase. You can use these rewards to pay for hotel stays, airfare, transit expenses and other travel costs.
Flexible travel options
Some cards have no blackout dates or other restrictions when using your rewards to make travel plans. Others require you to book through a third-party website or a dedicated portal, so you may not be able to cancel your plans without forfeiting your rewards.
The higher the APR on your credit card, the more interest you’ll pay if you don’t pay your balance by the end of your billing cycle. You can get cards with 0% APR , which allows you to make purchases and/or balance transfers at a rate that’s lower than the regular APR.
When comparing travel credit cards, watch out for steep fees such as balance transfer fees, cash advance fees or fees for late payments. Opt for cards with no foreign transaction fees when traveling abroad.
It’s common for travel credit cards to come with additional benefits, such as travel insurance, rental car coverage, shopping protections and extended warranty coverage. You may even qualify for complimentary memberships or statement credits.
Compare no-annual-fee cards with annual-fee cards
If you travel frequently, you may benefit more from having a credit card with an annual fee instead of a card with no annual fee. Annual fees typically offer higher earning rates and more benefits, like a fee credit for global entry or a card with airport lounge access .
Many travel credit cards require good or excellent credit scores . When you’re ready to apply, be prepared to provide your name, address, telephone number, annual income and monthly mortgage or rent payment. You’ll also need to enter your Social Security number on the application.
To apply for a card, visit the issuer’s website and follow the instructions on the form.
How to improve your chances of getting approved for a travel credit card with no annual fee
To improve your chances of approval, apply for a card that matches your credit profile. If your score is in the good range, you’re likely to be denied if you apply for a card that requires excellent scores.
You can also try prequalifying or applying with a cosigner. If you prequalify for a card, the issuer has already reviewed some of the information on your credit reports and determined that you may fit their approval criteria. Note that prequalification doesn’t guarantee approval; it just makes it more likely.
A cosigner promises to pay back what you borrow if you can’t afford to make your payments. If you decide to apply with a cosigner, make sure the person you choose has a strong credit profile and a steady source of income. Applying with a cosigner with poor credit won’t help you and may even hurt your credit.
No-annual-fee travel credit cards are worth it if you want to earn rewards without worrying about how much you’re earning compared to how much you’re spending to keep the card active.
You may benefit more from a travel credit card with an annual fee if you travel frequently and want access to even more benefits. If you only travel once or twice per year, consider getting a traditional credit card. You may benefit from earning cash back or points at restaurants, grocery stores and other everyday purchases.

Are there travel cards with no annual fee?
Yes. Our list of the best travel credit cards with no annual fee has seven entries, so you have plenty of options when it comes to earning travel rewards without having to pay a fee every year.
Which airline credit card does not have an annual fee?
The airline credit cards with no annual fee include the Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card, American Airlines Aadvantage® MileUp® and JetBlue Card.
Is a travel card with annual fee worth it?
A travel card with no annual fee may be worth it if you want to earn travel rewards but don’t want to worry about how much you are spending to match the rewards to the price of an annual fee.
What is the best credit card to use while traveling?
If you always stay at the same hotel chain, the best card for your needs may be a co-branded card such as a Delta credit card , that helps you earn free nights and other hotel-related perks.
If you’re loyal to one airline, look for a travel credit card that gives you miles or points to use on airfare and in-flight purchases.
What is the most accepted credit card for international travel?
Many overseas merchants accept Visa and Mastercard. It’s less common for merchants to accept Discover or American Express cards when you’re traveling in a foreign country. When choosing a credit card for international travel, remember to look for a card with no foreign transaction fees.
Which is the best no annual fee travel credit card?
The best travel credit card with no annual fee depends on your travel preferences and overall shopping habits. If you like to buy from the same brands, look for a card that maximizes your earnings on purchases from those brands. Otherwise, look for a card with low fees and plenty of perks.

Chase travel credit card application rules
Chase has several additional application restrictions, some of which are card-specific. The first rule typically applies to any Chase credit card you apply for and is known as the Chase 5/24 rule . The way it works is that you're unlikely to be approved for a Chase card if you've opened five or more cards from any bank in the past 24 months.
There are also specific restrictions for these cards:
IHG One Rewards credit cards
You aren't eligible for a personal IHG One Rewards card if you currently have any personal IHG One Rewards card. You also aren't eligible for a personal IHG One Rewards card if you've earned an intro bonus offer from any personal IHG One Rewards card in the previous 24 months.
The same limitation applies to the IHG One Rewards Premier Business Credit Card . You aren't eligible for an IHG One Rewards business card if you currently have and IHG One Rewards business card or if you've earned an intro bonus from and IHG One Rewards business card in the previous 24 months.
That said, if you open an IHG business card, you can still qualify for a personal IHG card and vice versa.
Southwest credit card application rules
Chase currently issues three personal Southwest credit cards and two Southwest business credit cards. You can have one personal Southwest card and one business Southwest card at a time. However, you aren't eligible for a new personal Southwest card if you currently have a personal Southwest card or have earned a new card member intro bonus from a Southwest personal card in the previous 24 months. The same rule applies to Southwest business cards, you aren't eligible for a Southwest business card if you currently have one or have earned a Southwest business card intro bonus in the previous 24 months.
Marriott Bonvoy credit card application rules
Both Chase and American Express issue Marriott Bonvoy co-branded credit cards . These hotel credit cards have complicated restrictions and waiting periods based on what cards you have, have had and when you earned previous Marriott Bonvoy card welcome bonuses. This makes it important to carefully review each card's specific terms before applying because even having an Amex Marriott card could impact whether you're eligible for a new cardmember bonus
Chase Sapphire credit card application rules
If you want to apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or Chase Sapphire Reserve® , the rules are more restrictive compared to other Chase cards. If you currently have or have had any Sapphire card in the last 48 months, you aren't eligible for any version of the Sapphire card.
It is possible to call and product change between the cards if you already have an account. So you could upgrade to the Sapphire Reserve to take advantage of its increased perks or downgrade to the Sapphire Preferred if you want to pay a smaller annual fee.
World of Hyatt credit card application rules
You won't qualify for the World of Hyatt Business Credit Card or World of Hyatt Credit Card if you currently have that card or have earned a welcome bonus from that card in the past 24 months. However, having a personal Hyatt card won't restrict you from opening a Hyatt Business card and vice versa.
United credit card application rules
Chase and United Airlines have partnered to issue several personal and business credit cards. The additional application guidelines are the same for all Chase United credit cards. For most United cards (personal or business), you aren't eligible for a specific card product if you currently have that exact card or have earned an intro bonus from that card in the past 24 months.
One exception is the United Club℠ Infinite Card , which you won't qualify for if you currently have any United Club card or if you have earned an intro bonus from any United Club card in the previous 24 months.

Our methodology
To determine which Chase travel credit cards offer the best value, CNBC Select analyzed Chase's travel card offerings based on a range of features. We considered rewards (e.g., cash back, points and miles), annual fees, welcome bonuses, introductory and standard APR and balance transfer fees and foreign transaction fees. We also considered additional perks (e.g., ongoing travel or merchant statement credits), cardholder protections (e.g., purchase protection, $0 liability protection and travel insurance), the application process when available (e.g., is there a credit pull or required credit score) and how easy it is to redeem points (e.g., are rewards are tied to a specific brand; if transferable, to how many/which partners, can you redeem for straight cash back). We also considered CNBC Select audience data when available, such as general demographics and engagement with our content and tools.
When choosing the best Chase travel cards, we focused on relevant features, such as cards that are widely accepted internationally and provide consumers with bonus rewards on travel spending. We prioritized additional perks that may be useful when traveling, such as travel protections and elite status benefits.
