Credit cards with free wifi

  Credit Card Reference

Several credit cards provide free access to inflight WiFi and/or global hotspot networks.

• A few Amex cards provide free access to Boingo Wi-Fi hotspots. You can connect to over a million hotspots around the world, without having to pay the normal monthly, daily, or hourly fees. This is a great way to get Wi-Fi access at many airports, hotels, and other public places. This benefit is available with the Platinum and Starwood Preferred Guest cards. Boingo website.
• Free Gogo inflight wireless passes. Gogo provides Wi-Fi services on many airplanes, including most flights on Alaska, American, Delta, and United. A few credit cards will give you free passes every year. Gogo website.

Amex Platinum Card Guide	The American Express Business Platinum Card offers 10 passes, but this card has a high annual fee. Nevertheless, many people choose to get it anyway, for its collection of great benefits. Which Premium Reward Card is Right for You?
CNB Crystal Infinite Card Guide	The City National Bank Visa Infinite Card includes 12 passes, but also has a high annual fee, and is difficult to get.
Discover it Miles Card Guide	The Discover It Miles card gives you a $30 credit towards inflight wireless, every year, which is applied automatically when you use the card to pay for access.

• Get higher speed Wi-Fi with some hotel credit cards. All members of the hotel's loyalty program usually get free Wi-Fi during their stays. But, with the automatic elite status that you can get with some hotel credit cards, you can get free access to a higher-speed Wi-Fi option, when you stay at that hotel.
