You can get credit card benefits like airport lounge access, Global Entry, and "free travel" without paying more.

These credit card benefits easily outweigh the annual fee for the cards, and can turn the credit cards into easy money makers as well. We will be going over credit cards with different types of airport lounge access, Global Entry, food delivery benefits, and auto collision damage waiver for car rentals. A lot of these credit cards also earn credit card points that you can use to book travel, so you are not just limited to using these credit card perks.
