conversation: User (wolftrapt): "I graduated from college 2 years ago, have been working full time for about a year and a half with my current company. My long term significant other is moving away for graduate school for the next two years and I'm thinking of getting a credit card that's good for travel. I will only use the credit card to pay for my usual debit card expenses, so it's stuff I do have money for. fwiw, most of the travel will be between Boston and DC/Baltimore airports, so the flights most likely won't be extremely expensive (with decent planning it looks tickets can get as low as $50-$60 one way).\n\nMy salary is $55000 per year, my monthly expenses are under $2000 per month total, and I have shares in my company as a benefit from my employer. The only thing I owe each month is rent. I don't have any student loans, but also have no credit as I've never had any bills in my name or anything of my own to pay.\n\nMy parents are really against credit cards (they've literally paid everything they own in cash up front because of how much they've saved... our house, both cars, college tuition, 4 years of dorm), so I don't have much info other than what I've been reading online.\n\nAny tips on where I might look for credit cards that best fit my situation would be great. Thanks so much in advance."
