Chase Sapphire Reserve here for Visa.

I eat out a lot and the 3x points on dinning, plus the $300 travel credit have always justified the annual fee ($450)

I use the points for hotels and they have absolutely outpaced the value of AMEX points in the last year.

Another Reserve user here too. But I pair it up with the Chase Freedom for 1.5x points that I can transfer to my Reserve account.

Alaska Airlines Visa and the Costco Citi Visa. Not the greatest but works for me. Was a hardcore AMEX guy until Costco dropped them. Pretty fair split between usage. Costco card is better for gas and eating out and the AA card is great for travel. Usually end up with enough miles for two trips a year for wife and I. Costco is cash back and with the exec membership we get a decent check annually. But we do shop at Costco a lot.

My only Visa is a Cap 1 Venture Card which I hardly ever use. I think I got a bunch of points or something when I signed up years ago that’s why I got it. I charge something maybe once every 6 months to keep the card from closing.

Fidelity Visa. 2% on everything deposited directly into brokerage account every month. No annual fee. Use a BofA for the 3% at gas stations. Thinking of the Costco Visa since my wife buys most of her gas there (5% on gas).

Chase Sapphire Reserve. It's really a bargain given all it provides. Works for me.

Get the Chase trifecta.

1). Sapphire preferred or Reserve. Which one. Depends on how much you travel.

2) Freedom Unlimited

3) Freedom

Best points. Ultimate Rewards. Each has sign up bonus’.

Very transferable when you have Hotels, Air, etc. when you have the Preferred / Reserve.

Here is a link.

Another vote for the Reserve. There may be better ones but you asked about VISA ones. And if you have much of any travel expenses, the annual fee is minimal. That 1.5 bonus on points is a winner (though you MAY find better deals outside of the ones offered by the card.. BUT, word is that the options may be expanding as they are changing to the Expedia (I think) travel portal)

Couple this with platinum honors status and it's very hard to beat. Though BofA is a little too demanding to get to PH status and no prudent financial mind would leave that much capital liquid without getting some return, it's not shrewd but a three month average gets decent perks...

My only Visa is my bank card. I never use it.
