- The novel coronavirus outbreak has all but shut down the travel industry, with things so bad at the moment for airlines that the TSA says passenger traffic is down 90%.
- Nevertheless, things won’t be like this forever. Delta is currently running some great welcome bonuses for its SkyMiles credit cards, so if you don’t mind perusing credit card offers now, it will pay off down the line once travel opens back up again.

So many industries are in a strange kind of state of suspended animation right, as we all try and make our way to whatever the other side of the novel coronavirus outbreak looks like. Travel and hospitality are among the especially hard-hit industries right now, because every day spent hunkering down at a home in a city under quarantine or a shelter-in-place order because of the virus is a day not spent booking a hotel room or flying the friendly skies.
But even though a perk like free award travel is not exactly a top priority at the present moment, there are still steps you can take now to ensure you’re in a great place to travel once it’s safe to do so. One of those steps is choosing the best credit cards to keep in your wallet and create a credit card strategy that earns you extra miles through welcome bonuses and spending categories.
