A closer look at “28 Credit Cards That Get You Free Checked Bags on Flights”, exactly as the source publishes it. Baggage fees can add $60 or more to a round-trip flight, but 28 credit cards offer a way to avoid them entirely. Cards from major issuers like Chase, American Express, Citi, and Capital One include free checked bags as a standard benefit, often for the cardholder and companions on the same reservation. Airlines such as Delta, United, American, and Alaska partner with these cards, so the perk typically applies when you fly the co-branded carrier.
For example, the Delta SkyMiles Gold American Express Card grants a first checked bag free for up to nine people on a Delta flight. This can translate to savings of $70 per person on a single round trip. Beyond baggage, many of these cards also offer priority boarding, travel credits, or bonus miles, making them valuable for frequent flyers.
