Premium travel and rewards cards tend to have the biggest welcome bonuses, but they also usually come with annual fees that range from $95 to as much as $550. But what about people who don’t need all the premium perks, or simply don’t want to spend money on fees? Don’t they deserve a little something too?
Fortunately, you can still score decent (albeit much reduced) welcome bonuses on cards that don’t charge an annual fee. Here’s a look at some of the most enticing current offers:
