 TITLE: 4 Types of Cards Everyone Should Have in Their Wallet CONTENT: Hotel or Airline Card\n---------------------\nIf you're a travel buff, getting a co-branded credit card with your favorite airline or hotel brand can go a long way. You'll earn points or miles with every purchase, which can help pay for a weekend getaway trip or long-awaited family vacation. These cards don't always offer the best rewards rates, but they typically come with big sign-up bonus offers and valuable perks—and, your points and miles typically will not expire as long as you hold the card.\nFor example, a lot of airline cards offer free checked baggage and priority boarding, as well as statement credits for in-flight purchases and airport lounge access. Hotel cards usually come with complimentary elite status and a free night's stay every year.\nEven if you travel just a couple of times per year, travel credit cards including airline and hotel cards can often return as much or more value than they cost in the form of an annual fee.
