If you're just getting started with credit cards, the sheer number of options out there can feel like a lot, but honestly, it doesn't have to be complicated. The single most important thing you can do before comparing any cards is figure out what you actually want to get out of them. Are you looking to earn transferable points that you can use for aspirational business class redemptions? Do you want simple, straightforward cashback? Or are you carrying a balance and just need a low APR to get ahead of your debt? There's no universally "best" card, only the best card for your specific situation.
Once you've got that figured out, the comparison process becomes a lot more fun. You'll want to look at the welcome bonus (which can often be worth hundreds of dollars on its own), the ongoing earning rates for your biggest spending categories, the annual fee and whether the card's perks justify it, and any travel or lifestyle benefits that come with it. A card with a $550 annual fee might sound steep, but if the lounge access, travel credits, and transfer partners make sense for how you travel, it can easily pay for itself several times over. The key is being honest with yourself about how you'll actually use it.

The Amex Gold Card is one of American Express’ best cards for earning points. With 4x points at restaurants worldwide (up to $50,000 annually) and 4x points at U.S. supermarkets (up to $25,000 annually), earning Membership Rewards points is easy.
The card also offers some credits that are potentially useful, which for many will help offset the annual fee. The card offers up to a $120 annual dining credit, plus multiple Uber benefits, which I find to be very worthwhile.

The Atmos Summit Card is largely a no-brainer for anyone who flies Alaska or Hawaiian with any frequency, values elite status, or redeems Atmos Rewards points regularly. It offers the strongest rewards structure of any card in the lineup, with 3x points on foreign purchases, dining, and Alaska/Hawaiian purchases, plus the fastest card-based path to elite status. The annual 25,000-point Global Companion Award, issued every year just for holding the card, can nearly justify the annual fee on its own.
It's best for points maximizers and Alaska loyalists who want upgrade priority, lounge access, and the tools to earn and redeem at the highest level.

The combination of a flat 2x earning rate with using Bilt Cash for the spending accelerator feature can push daily earning rates to a consistent 3x for a majority of purchases.
While the annual fee is steep, the math very much checks out for the right type of card holder. It's best for high spenders and those with significant housing payments who can extract maximum value from the premium perks and the broader Bilt ecosystem.
Earn up to 1.25X points on rent and mortgage payments with no transaction fee, and 2X points on everyday spend.
