Choose FI has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Choose FI and CardRatings may earn compensation from card issuers when a customer clicks on a link, when an application is approved, or when an account is opened. Opinions, reviews, analyses & recommendations are the author's alone, and have not been reviewed, endorsed or approved by any of these entities. American Express is a ChooseFI advertiser.

Hey, it's Brad, host of the ChooseFI podcast: Here are my Top 10 recommended travel rewards credit cards for May 2026.

I'm keeping this list constantly updated, so be sure to check back each time you're getting set to open a new rewards card to find our latest advice.
