Editorial take: Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards Visa Signature

The Companion Fare alone justifies the $99 fee — book a paid Alaska ticket, take a partner along for $99 + tax. Easy three-figure value at the West Coast / Asia-via-Alaska routes Alaska reaches.

Editorial take: United Quest Business Card

United's mid-premium business. The $200 travel credit + 10k mile rebate after award bookings + 6 club passes routinely justify the $350 fee for any frequent United business traveler.
