 A cross-country trip is, probably, the most popular with Americans type of traveling. And the reasons for that lie on the surface. The US has a vast area. Every state has its peculiarities, symbols, history. Even if it seems to you that you know your textbook on history from cover to cover, traveling through this country, you will come across many amazing and interesting things you had no idea of before.
 Besides, traveling within the US you skip all this tiresome paper processing, you do not need to get a foreign passport, visa and so on. And this kind of road tripping will not damage severely your budget. The most loss-making item on your travel expenditures list will be, right, gas. As a car, obviously, is the most suitable vehicle for such kind of trip.
 Discover offers a credit card that will perfectly fit cross-country travelers’ needs. Discover Open Road card gives you an unlimited 5% rebate on gas and auto maintenance expenses, and 1% cash back on all other purchases, plus numerous travel services.
For people, who are eager to explore new countries, cultures and traditions Capital One No Hassle Rewards card will be a perfect choice. This card is available for people with excellent credit as well as for those, whose credit score needs some improvement. Besides, you will be able to go for one of the two rewards program you choose – cash back or air miles points rewards.
You will barely find at least two more banks that do not charge a foreign currency conversion fee. So, if you decide to go abroad, No Hassle Rewards will take care of your money matters during your sojourn somewhere in India or Europe. You will not have any problems with this card’s acception. All you will have to think about will be how to get maximum pleasure and indelible impressions from your trip.
 Citi Premier Pass is a credit card for true adventurers, for people, who are ready to dart off at any moment. This is a points reward card, which gives you 1 point for every dollar you have spent and 1 point for every 3 miles you have flown. $ 1,500 travel insurance, 0% on balance transfer for 15 months, no annual fee, all possible travel services, and even more perks are what you get having applied for this card.     
So, these are 3 very favorable credit card offers for travelers. Of course, this is not a guide for action, those are just recommendations, and you are free to choose any card you will find appropriate. But there is a grain of reason in the above-named offers and arguments.
