Verdict
Our Pick: Chase Freedom Unlimited
With a 4.6/5 rating, the Chase Freedom Unlimited edges out the Amazon Prime Visa (4.4/5). No annual fee makes it easy to justify. The Freedom Unlimited is the best no-fee companion card. With 1.5% on everything plus 3% on dining, it earns strong rewards solo — and becomes elite when paired with a Chase Sapphire for point transfers.
