Summary
Several popular rewards cards with annual fees under $100 offer statement credits toward Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application fees. These cards include the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card, Aeroplan Credit Card, IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card, OneKey+ Card, and U.S. Bank Altitude Connect Visa Signature Card. Each card has its own unique benefits and earning structures, and can provide exceptional value beyond the Global Entry/TSA PreCheck benefit. The most important factor is determining the type of rewards you want to earn and how you would like to redeem them, as well as considering each issuer’s unique set of application rules and restrictions.

The destination is rediscovered. With the Chase Sapphire Preferred, you can earn 5 points per dollar spent on Chase Travel purchases and 3 points per dollar spent on dining, gas, and vacation homes. The Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card offers 5 miles per dollar spent on hotels, rental cars, and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel. The Aeroplan Credit Card provides 3 points per dollar spent at grocery stores, on dining at restaurants, and on purchases made directly with Air Canada. The IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card offers up to 26 points per dollar spent when you stay at IHG Hotels & Resorts. The OneKey+ Card earns 3% back in OneKeyCash on Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo, and the U.S. Bank Altitude Connect Visa Signature Card earns 5 points per dollar spent on prepaid hotels and car rentals booked directly in the Travel Center. You can use the Global Entry/TSA PreCheck credit for someone you know, just have them use your card to pay for their application fee. And remember, the escape is carefully planned, but the credit is only worth up to $120 every four years.
