Credit Card Insider receives compensation from advertisers whose products may be mentioned on this page. Advertiser relationships do not affect card evaluations. Advertising partners do not edit or endorse our editorial content. Content is accurate to the best of our knowledge when it's published. Learn more in our Editorial Guidelines.
There’s a wide variety of Chase credit cards, mostly designed for people with great credit history and credit scores.
Chase also offers several business credit cards for small business owners under the Chase Ink Business brand.
For Travel Rewards
These cards do not have foreign transaction fees, which should be expected on travel credit cards with an annual fee. They’re part of the Chase Ultimate Rewards program. Ultimate Rewards points are most valuable when you redeem for travel purchases through the Ultimate Rewards portal or a point transfer to a partner travel program, like a hotel loyalty program.
Each card has an opportunity to earn bonus points for spending a certain amount within the first few months of account opening. These credit cards even offer primary car rental insurance, a valuable perk that could help keep your insurance payments low.
- Earn 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. That's $750 when you redeem through Chase Ultimate Rewards®.
- Enjoy new benefits such as a $50 annual Ultimate Rewards Hotel Credit, 5X points on travel purchased through Chase Ultimate Rewards®, 3X points on dining and 2X points on all other travel purchases, plus more.
- Get 25% more value when you redeem for airfare, hotels, car rentals and cruises through Chase Ultimate Rewards®. For example, 60,000 points are worth $750 toward travel.
- With Pay Yourself Back℠, your points are worth 25% more during the current offer when you redeem them for statement credits against existing purchases in select, rotating categories
- Get unlimited deliveries with a $0 delivery fee and reduced service fees on eligible orders over $12 for a minimum of one year with DashPass, DoorDash's subscription service. Activate by 12/31/21.
- Count on Trip Cancellation/Interruption Insurance, Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver, Lost Luggage Insurance and more.
- Get up to $60 back on an eligible Peloton Digital or All-Access Membership through 12/31/2021, and get full access to their workout library through the Peloton app, including cardio, running, strength, yoga, and more. Take classes using a phone, tablet, or TV. No fitness equipment is required.

What Are the Best Chase Credit Cards?
That depends — how do you spend your money, and what are you looking for in a credit card? If you’d like to earn travel rewards, try the Chase Sapphire cards. The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (Review) delivers strong rewards and point transfer opportunities for a reasonable annual fee, while the Chase Sapphire Reserve® (Review) adds a premium tilt with better rewards and top-tier benefits at a higher price tag.
If you’re not huge on travel, the Chase Freedom Flex℠ (Review) and Chase Freedom Unlimited® (Review) are worth a look. They’re both strong cash back credit cards with no annual fee, but the Flex focuses on quarterly rotating categories, while the Unlimited offers a few permanent categories and 1.5% cash back on everything else.
Last, but certainly not least, Chase issues a plethora of co-branded airline and hotel cards. If you’re a frequent traveler who doesn’t mind brand loyalty, they might be worth a look — particularly top picks like the United℠ Explorer Card (Review) and the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card (Review).
What Benefits Do Chase Credit Cards Provide?
Chase offers a set of features that come standard with their credit cards, including:
- Chase Credit Journey: Chase offers free credit scores to help you keep tabs on your credit. View your VantageScore 3.0, based on your TransUnion credit report, and see data from that report.
- Referral Bonuses: Some cards offer bonus rewards for referring friends who successfully apply for Chase cards.
- Zero Liability Protection: You won’t be held responsible for unauthorized charges.
- Fraud Alerts: Sign up to get notified of any possibly fraudulent card activity.
- Fraud Protection: Real-time fraud monitoring software to help protect your account.
What Credit Scores Do You Need to Get a Chase Credit Card?
Most Chase credit cards are intended for those with good credit scores. That’s a FICO score of at least 670.
There are a few exceptions.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve® (Review) targets individuals with excellent credit. FICO scores above 740 or so should do the trick.
Then there’s the Chase Freedom® Student credit card (Review). Like most student-focused credit cards, it’s tailored for those with limited or no credit.
Keep in mind that your credit alone may not be enough for approval. You’ll generally also have to make enough money and have a low enough debt load that the issuer isn’t worried you’ll be unable to make payments.
Are There Chase Credit Cards With No Foreign Transaction Fees?
Yes! Unsurprisingly, most are designed for frequent travelers.
Options include:
- Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (Review)

What’s the Chase 5/24 Rule?
The Chase 5/24 rule is an unspoken — and therefore unconfirmed — rule that reportedly applies to the Chase card application process (more general information on the credit card application process here).
The rule goes like this: If you’ve opened five or more credit cards that appear on your personal credit reports in the past 24 months, Chase will deny your application. Pretty simple. The rule was likely designed to mitigate lending risk on Chase’s part while curbing singup bonus abuse.
Because the rule is unconfirmed, there are reports that it doesn’t always hold true. So, if you really want a Chase card but you’ve already opened five accounts in the last two years, you could still give the application a shot (you may need to call the reconsideration line after applying). Just make sure you’re using your credit cards responsibly.
