Unless and until you plan to charge a large amount every year to a credit card, I would avoid any card which charges an annual fee. The relentless annual fee will whittle down the value of the rewards you ultimately earn. If you have good credit, the only exception that I would consider is to take advantage of the better introductory offers from the airline cards. United recently offered their Mileage Plus Visa card with the annual fee waived for the first year, and 25,000 bonus miles after you charge $250.00 to the card. USAirways offers a similar deal for their card. I would consider signing up for one of these cards, and then cancelling within one year, to avoid the annual fee. Otherwise, I would just recommend getting a good no-annual-fee cash rebate card, and using the rebates to purchase the least expensive air travel available. (This also enables you to take advantage of Priceline and Hotwire for your air travel, if you wish.)
