Free travel is the holy grail for many of us with limited travel budgets. As a result, we flock to travel rewards credit cards to earn points for our everyday spending.
By signing up for a travel credit card and spending a few thousand on the card within a few months, almost anyone can earn hundreds or thousands in free travel with little effort on their part.
But, it can often pay to think outside the box when it comes to a rewards hobby.
While popular cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Platinum Card from American Express and Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite MasterCard tend to hog up all the headlines, don't forget there are many less popular cards that can offer lots of bang for your buck.
One such under-the-radar travel credit card is the More Rewards American Express Card from Navy Federal. Available only to the armed forces, the DoD, veterans, and their families, this card is a winner for those whose wanderlust pushes them to rack up rewards.
Here are some of the basic details of this card and how it might help you earn (and burn) more points on travel this year:
-Earn 3x points at supermarkets and gas stations, 2x points at restaurants, and 1x point on everything else
-Through the end of the year, new users can earn 25,000 bonus points after spending $3,000 in the first three months
-No annual fees, no foreign transaction fees and no balance transfer fees
-Amex Offers Benefits (early access to entertainment, special dining options), Navy Federal cardholder benefits
-Serviced by Navy Federal, 24/7 contact center, online banking, mobile banking and more than 300 branches worldwide
Though it's hard to beat 3x points on gas and 2x points on dining with no annual fee, if you're someone who spends a lot on road trips and restaurant meals, this card could let you earn hundreds in free travel per year.
