Editorial take: Delta SkyMiles Reserve Business American Express Card

Premium Delta business. Sky Club + first-class companion cert combined typically cover the fee for couples on a single trip. Stack with personal Delta Reserve only if you really want unlimited Sky Club.

Editorial take: World of Hyatt Credit Card

The anniversary free night at a Category 1-4 Hyatt easily covers the $95 fee, even a Category 1 Hyatt Place clears it. If you stay at any Hyatt once a year, this card pays for itself.
