While airfare rates are definitely rising, ironically, they\u2019re not the travel expense that\u2019s soaring right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to a report by Hopper Media, from January 2022 to January 2023 the average cost of a hotel room rose 54% to $212 per night. This isn\u2019t just a post-pandemic market correction, either; a report by American Express Global Travel found that prices will likely continue to rise throughout 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the credit card market is flush with options for earning free nights. All of the cards on this list either grant you a free night on your account anniversary, generous annual travel credits or both. Best of all, all five cards offer sizable welcome bonuses that can cover up to nine <\/em>free nights at a decent property.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The best credit cards for free nights in April 2024<\/h2>\n

Best overall: IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card<\/h2>\n

The IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card card<\/a> includes a free anniversary night worth up to 40,000 points, a redeem-three-get-one bonus on award nights, up to 26X total on IHG purchases and a staggering six-figure welcome bonus. This card pumps out free nights like T Swift pumps out chart-topping hits, and if you\u2019re even considering staying in an IHG property this year it\u2019s well worth the $99 annual fee.\u00a0<\/p>\n
