Been in the States for 2 years, finally have long enough credit history. Currently only have an HSBC Premiere credit card, and looking to get another credit card for me. Which one is the most favorable now? Hubby has HSBC, Amazon credit card, and Chase. We travel a lot internationally (for work and private), quite big spenders on airbnbs, flight tickets, hotels. What would you recommend? Thanks!

Capital One Venture X. The points you accumulate on it actually work better on international flights. Or the Amex Platinum card which can transfer points directly to Delta.

like

Chase sapphire reserve.
Also look into the chase trifecta.

This may be convenient since you already have a chase relationship.

Chase Sapphire Reserve/Preferred and/or Capital One Venture X.

I have the Chase trifecta (Freedom Unlimited + Freedom Flex + Reserve; will add Inks once I'm below 5/24) and Cap One duo (Savor One + VX). Combine all points for max value.

I suggest you follow a couple different Facebook groups, there’s a lot of excellent info on how to start your points journey.

And

They both recommend starting out with Chase, either sapphire reserve or preferred.

If you follow the cryptocurrency market, or even have been just taking an interest lately, with the Bitcoin "halvening," you should check out Pi.
