I have been thinking about signing up for my first credit card that offers rewards or points but I am getting really confused about which card I should go with. Can anyone recommend a good first-time credit card?

Depends. What are your biggest spend areas? Travel, restaurants/bars, groceries, gas?

Also what are your end goals ? TATL business tickets or just domestic economy travel on whatever airline is cheapest ? Hotel stays ? Amex Gold, venture X and chase sapphire are all pretty solid options for most people since you can transfer the points to different partners.

Chase freedom or capital one are good to start with.

Chase sapphire preferred
