No Annual Fee Credit Cards

No annual fee cards cost nothing to keep open, which makes them good long-term cards and helps the age of your credit history grow. Many still earn rewards or offer introductory APRs. Check the other fees, such as foreign transaction and balance transfer fees, before you decide.

What to look for

  • Other fees still apply: late, cash advance and foreign transaction fees vary even when the annual fee is zero.
  • Keeper value: a no-fee card you hold for years supports your average account age.
  • Rewards trade-off: fee-free cards sometimes earn less than comparable cards that charge a fee.
