Summary
Expats can still earn credit card points and miles despite living abroad. To do so, they should choose cards with no foreign transaction fees, consider local acceptance, and use a US address and phone number. They should also protect their credit score, use contactless payments, and go paperless. Some of the best credit cards for expats include the Chase Sapphire Reserve, Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite credit card, and American Express Platinum Card.
