    The Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express is more about function than flash — and for travelers who frequent hotels, that's what makes it well worth its annual fee of $0 for the first year, then $95.

    The card comes fully stocked with five-star benefits, including an annual free night award, automatic Silver Elite status and a rich sign-up bonus. Although those who prefer to redeem points for high-end hotel stays likely won't snag as many good deals as they could have with the previous version of this card, the new perks on the current offer still make it a valuable option.

    You'll also get a nice signup bonus: Earn 75,000 Bonus Points after you use your new Card to make $3,000 in purchases within the first 3 months. Terms Apply. The annual fee is $0 for the first year, then $95.
