Editorial take: Discover it Cash Back

The first-year Cashback Match effectively doubles your earnings, someone who earns $300 in cash back gets $600 total. It's the best no-fee first card for building credit with real rewards.

Editorial take: World of Hyatt Business Credit Card

The strongest hotel business card if you actually stay at Hyatts. Five elite night credits + top-3-categories earning + the $100 in Hyatt credits make it pay for its $199 fee for almost any Hyatt-leaning traveler. Underrated.
