Apparently Ramsey has never traveled (especially international) where you need to rent a car or it is unsafe to carry large amounts of cash around.
Ramsey has some good points but "no credit cards" and "buy a house with cash" are not amongst them.

Great post by C130J.
I have the Delta Sky Miles Amex Gold card and the Chase Marriott Visa ( black ). Those two work really well for me. Definitely need one with no foreign transaction fees in our line of work, which is the Chase card.
Personal circumstances; buying habits; and travel habits certainly dictate which of the reward cards are best for any one given individual.
In the 90s I had a Ford Visa card which I used quite often. Moving back to the States I used the points for something like $1500 off a brand new F-150.
Oh, and why assume someone doesn't pay off their credit card bill in full every month labbats?

Consider the Ritz Carlton visa if you're in the Marriott system. You get marriott points and and Gold status. $395/yr but you get a $300 statement credit for anything airline related (inflight wifi, meals, etc). Read the boiler plate for other perks

All I can go on are my own experiences and I've always been awful with saving as has my wife. Since we took the Dave Ramsey class together and cut up the credit cards and started budgeting it has made all the difference.
If you have the ability to never run up a credit card then you obviously don't need advice from Dave Ramsey. However his class fixed my finances, marriage and ability to plan out my future. The freedom from debt is worth far more than hotel points and airline miles to me.
As I said earlier... best of luck regardless of your decision.
