3 . American Express Gold: Best "non-travel" travel card
Why it's great in one sentence: The American Express Gold card earns tons of valuable Amex travel points on practically all the food-related purchases you're making even when you' re not traveling, and the credits available on the card nearly offset (抵消) its annual fee.
This card is right for: People who can use all of the card's various credits and who spend significant money at restaurants, on food delivery services or at U.S. supermarkets while they' re not on the road.
Highlights:
First, with the Amex Gold, you'll earn 4 points for every dollar you spend on restaurants worldwide, and on up to $25,000 in annual purchases at U.S. supermarkets (1 point per dollar afterwards). Most food delivery services count as “restaurants" on this card, so that means the vast majority of your food purchases will earn 4x points, regardless of how you're eating.
You'll also earn 3 points per dollar when you book airfare directly with an airline, so if you're looking to jump on any sales for flights later in the year, you can pay for them with the Amex Gold and earn extra points on those as well.
The points earned on this card are American Express Membership Rewards points, which are extremely useful. You can redeem (兑取现金) them directly for flights via Amex Travel at 1 cent each, but if you put in some extra effort and research, you can potentially get much more value from them by transferring them to any of Amex's 21 airline and hotel partners, which include Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Marriott and many more.

9 . If you're a hard-core traveler, you're likely always looking for the next big thing. Be it the newest hotel, the most luxurious suite, or climbing the highest mountain, you're down for all. And that makes this new hotel, located in the North Pole, the perfect fit for you.
This winter, guests will have the unbelievable opportunity to stay in the northernmost hotel in the world known as the North Pole Igloo Hotel. However, it does come with two rather large catches. The first is that it will only be available for an extremely limited amount of time. The second is that it will cost $100,000 for a three-night trip.
But, that $100,000 certainly comes with few perks(额外待遇）．
“North Pole igloos hotel concept is movable, sustainable, but still a little extreme," the hotel explains on its site. “Depending on weather conditions we move the heated glass igloos to most safe places around the arctic glacier. You can join the group of very rare people who have spent a night at the North Pole's glacier.”
It further notes, the hotel is only open on request in the month of April, but guests can also stay at another location on other dates.
So,what do you get for the money? The hotel comes with a two-night stay in Svalbard before a two-hour helicopter ride to the North Pole ice camp. Guests are then transported to the glacier and to check into their igloo hotel.
“We provide all of the equipment,"Janne Honkanen,founder of Luxury Action."But you definitely need to have the spirit of an explorer or scientist.”
Guests are “almost guaranteed” to get a great viewing of the Northern Lights as they are still incredibly active in the area throughout the month of April. If you've got the money to burn and the spirit to match, book it now.
