If you do not consider the Aer Lingus credit card as a credit card of your choice for travel purchases, then a regular travel rewards credit card that is not tied to any airline can be a good option for you.

There are various travel rewards credit cards, and it might be hard to choose one best credit card for you. But if you are new to travel rewards or do not travel more than one or two times a year, look for simple credit cards with moderate annual fees. It might be a credit card with cash back or a card that offers a higher rewards rate on travel purchases. Such cards usually come with low to no annual fees, allow you to earn rewards without flying, and allow you to redeem earned rewards as statement credits or cash.

If you are an avid traveler and want your new credit card to have some travel benefits in addition to travel rewards, then look for travel rewards credit cards like the Citi Strata Elite℠ Card. Such cards come with various travel credits and benefits like lounge access, upgrades, points transfers, or priority boarding. The only drawback of such cards is that they usually come with high annual fees and require good-to-excellent credit ratings to qualify. For example, if you want to be able to transfer points to Aer Lingus AerClub, you can consider Bilt credit cards, Chase Ultimate Rewards credit cards, or Amex Membership Rewards® credit cards.
