*Strict limit of 1,000 words.

Students!

For those looking to understand and build your credit score as you finish college and start your careers, we suggest looking over our detailed credit building guide.

If your credit score is already healthy (700+) and you wish to travel, then we recommend you start collecting Chase Ultimate Rewards points.

Many of you will understandably (and sensibly!) want to keep your expenses to a minimum, which makes the credit cards with no annual fee an even more attractive offer, including the Chase Freedom Unlimited®.

One of the best low-annual-fee credit cards to start off with is the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, but take a look at our other travel reward credit cards too.

For those of you who have that entrepreneurial spirit, take a look at our business credit cards.

All these cards will help you not only to improve your financial position (when used correctly), but they’ll help you earn points to begin traveling. Once you have enough points, you can research trips using Google Flights or other booking tools (like Costco Travel) to find options for exploring the world!
