Wells Fargo's $95 travel card leads with 5x on hotels and 4x on airlines, plus transferable points and an annual airline credit, which is generous for the fee. The weak spot is everyday spend at 1x, so it's a category card, not a daily driver; pair it with a flat earner or you're leaving points behind on groceries and gas. Book $3,000 of hotels and $2,000 of flights a year and you'll rack up about 23,000 points before the airline credit even factors in. No foreign transaction fee as of 2026 makes it solid for overseas trips, but confirm the current credit amount and transfer partners on Wells Fargo's site, since the partner list is newer and thinner than Chase's or Amex's.
