Editorial take: Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority

If Southwest is your airline, this is the card to have. The anniversary points and $75 travel credit help offset the annual fee, and the 4x earning on Southwest is class-leading among airline cards.

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.
