The One Key™ Card (see rates and fees) and One Key+™ Card (see rates and fees) offer strong earnings rates and benefits for low annual fees.
Plus, the One Key Card is currently providing an elevated limited-time offer for new cardholders to take advantage of.
Let’s take a closer look at the two cards and analyze the current offers to see which one is best for you.
One Key+ Card
The One Key+ Card has a $99 annual fee but comes with multiple benefits to help make up for its price tag. If you can take advantage of those perks, it’s well worth going for the One Key+.
Current welcome offer
Earn $350 in OneKeyCash™ after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
Is it worth it?
It’s important to note that OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used with Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo. However, the card does come with some nice earnings rates if you use those platforms often.
- 3% back in OneKeyCash on Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo (in addition to what you earn as a One Key member)
- 3% back in OneKeyCash at gas stations, grocery stores and on dining
- 2% back in OneKeyCash on other purchases
This card comes with a few perks that make up for its annual fee. You’ll receive $100 in OneKeyCash each year on your account anniversary and a statement credit of up to $120 for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck once every four years.
You’ll also get automatic Gold status in the One Key rewards program with savings of 20% or more on over 10,000 hotels worldwide. You’ll reach Platinum when you spend $30,000 or more per calendar year.
