I am a 27 year old IT Consultant. I am married, with no children, and I live in Chicago, IL. I am moving over to a traveling role, which would involve me typically flying out Monday morning, and staying in a hotel through Thursday, leaving that evening back home. On these trips, I will typically be eating out, renting cars, and possibly exploring the location if it is a larger city. With this, I am looking at credit card offers that will best benefit me and these new traveling expenses.

My stats

• 80-85k in salary
• 750 credit score

My Current Cards

• Visa Platinum Rewards - 8K Limit - 13.99% variable interest
• Chase Slate - 2K Limit - 23% variable interest and no rewards

I will be booking my own hotels/cars/etc (flights are charged to the project, so I get nothing for them) through my companies Travel Page. I am looking for a card that will give me great benefits for booking all these things and will best benefit me with dinner purchases, as I will be eating out most nights while traveling. I am not that interested in a card with an Annual Fee, but would be open to it if it fits what I am looking for.
