Best travel credit card for beginners?

Chase Sapphire Preferred, Capital One Venture X, and Amex Gold cover most bases: transferable points, decent sign-up bonuses, and no foreign transaction fees. Skip premium cards unless you'll use the perks.

Follow-up questions

Are points worth more than cash back?

Yes if you actually redeem for travel via transfer partners; roughly 1.5–2× the value of cash back.

How many cards should I have?

Two to four is typical. Too many can complicate credit applications and become work to manage.
