Top rewards picks for Home Depot

Capital One Venture X Rewards
Capital One · $395 annual fee
The rare premium card that nearly pays for itself: a 300-dollar annual travel credit, 10,000 anniversary bonus miles (100-dollar value), and Priority Pass lounge access for unlimited guests. Earn 10x miles on hotels and car rentals via Capital One Travel. Combined perks regularly exceed the 395-dollar annual fee for anyone who travels a few times per year.

Chase Ink Business Preferred
Chase · $95 annual fee
The top business travel rewards card for entrepreneurs and growing companies. The 90,000-point sign-up bonus is worth $1,125 toward travel via Chase, and 3x on key business categories like travel, advertising, and shipping adds up fast. Points transfer to 14 airline and hotel partners at 1:1 ratio.

Chase Sapphire Preferred
Chase · $95 annual fee
The gold standard for beginner and intermediate travel rewards. Earn 3x on dining and 2x on travel, with best-in-class trip delay reimbursement, primary car rental coverage, and no foreign transaction fees. Points transfer to 14 airline and hotel partners or redeem at 1.25 cents each through Chase Travel.

Chase Sapphire Reserve
Chase · $550 annual fee
Chase flagship premium card: the $300 annual travel credit offsets most of the fee, Priority Pass lounge access for you and guests, 3x on dining and travel globally, and a 50% point-value boost through Chase Travel (1.5 cents each). Best-in-class travel insurance — trip delay, cancellation, and primary car rental — makes this a favorite for frequent travelers.

American Express Gold Card
American Express · $250 annual fee
The go-to card for foodies and grocery shoppers with 4x on restaurants and groceries.
Bilt Mastercard
Wells Fargo · No annual fee
The only credit card that lets you earn rewards on rent payments with zero processing fee. Renters paying $1,500/month earn 18,000 points/year on rent alone — worth $180+ toward travel or potentially more via transfers to American Airlines, United, Hyatt, and other premium partners. The no-annual-fee structure is exceptional given the transfer options.

Chase Freedom Flex
Chase · No annual fee
One of the best no-annual-fee cards available, combining 5% rotating bonus categories with a permanent 3% on dining and drugstores. When paired with a Chase Sapphire card, cash back converts to transferable Ultimate Rewards points worth 1.25–1.5 cents each — dramatically increasing value. Cell phone protection is a bonus you won't find on most free cards.

Citi Strata Premier Card
Citi · $95 annual fee
Citi's refreshed premier travel card competes head-to-head with the Chase Sapphire Preferred. The 10x on hotels/car rentals booked through Citi Travel is eye-catching, and 3x on airlines, restaurants, supermarkets, and gas covers most spending. ThankYou Points transfer to 17+ partners.
