Do you only use the card for that trip, or for other traveling also? If you're a frequent traveler and are looking for a card which primarily gives you discounts for it I'd recommend the American Express Business Gold Rewards card. I actually have this card solely for traveling purposes. Since it's Amex, they have more leverage with hotels, airlines, etc. to get you deals. The nice part is the annual fee is waived for the first year so you can test it out for free basically to see how much it will benefit you. It's a business card so they specialize in travel of course. You however don't need to own a business to have the card. You can sign up as an individual (sole proprietor) using your name as the business name and your social security. There's no other additional paperwork or tax reporting with business cards, it's the same as any other credit card. If you're keeping a card open just for travel discounts, make sure it's a card that can give you the most for it.
