In a time of rising costs, travelers are looking to save. NerdWallet’s 2026 Summer Travel Report found that 89% of summer travelers are taking action to save money on travel costs, with 15% saying they plan to avoid checking bags.
In addition to the points you can earn on your spending, airline credit cards offer another valuable benefit: free checked bags, which can potentially save you hundreds of dollars annually (especially as most major U.S. airlines elected to hike their bag fees this year).
