My very first credit card, the United℠ Explorer Card (see rates and fees ), was a Chase product, and it introduced me to the world of points and miles.
I'll never forget how it felt to redeem miles I'd earned with the card for the first time or the trip I took: a last-minute trip with friends to Moab, Utah, that at the time I never would have been able to afford otherwise. It opened up my eyes to what was possible with credit cards, and from that moment on, I was hooked.
Since taking that card out 13 years ago, my collection has expanded to include 12 Chase cards, each playing a unique role in my wallet.
If I were to start all over again, I'd probably choose a different card for my first , but I can confidently say that anchoring my points and miles strategy with Chase credit cards has been a decision that's helped me see more of the world over the last decade than I ever could have dreamed.
Whether your goal is to earn points and miles for travel, collect cash back or access perks that will enhance your travel experience, Chase has a card to meet your needs. Here are my top picks.

Standout benefits : When the Sapphire Reserve first launched in 2016, I jumped at the chance to get it. I was immediately attracted by features like the $300 travel credit, which I always found extremely easy to use, and the generous earning rate of 3 points per dollar spent dining, one of my biggest spending categories.
While I ultimately decided the Sapphire Preferred was a better fit for my specific needs, I did hold the Reserve for many years and found a lot to love about it.
Since then, the card has added several new benefits as part of a full revamp last year. It now offers perks like a $300 annual statement credit for concert and event tickets purchased through StubHub or Viagogo (split into two $150 biannual credits; activation required) that I know I'd be able to easily maximize.
