Cash Back Credit Cards

These cards offer cash back or cash rebate incentives just for using your card for everyday purchases. Consumers usually need a good to excellent credit rating for approval. Rebates can come in the form of an account credit or a check. Our objective opinion is included on each card.

1. Blue Cash® from American Express

Blue Cash® from American Express Apply Now See Details
Interest Rate: As low as 17.24%**
Intro Rate: 0% APR for up to 6 Months
Grace Period: 25 Days
Credit Limit: n/app
Annual Fee: None

Special Offers: 0.00% Introductory APR (0.0000% DPR) for Purchases for up to 6 months of Cardmembership.

Our Opinion: Created for those with good or excellent credit who want a cash back reward card. Unlimited cash back on eligible purchases but this varies with the amount spent per year. For the first $6,500 of Eligible Purchases, the rebate is 1.0% for Everyday Purchases and 0.5% for all other Eligible Purchases; for Eligible Purchases of $6,500.01 or more, the rebate percentage is 5.0% for Everyday Purchases and 1.25% for all other Eligible Purchases. "Everyday Purchases" are made at drugstores, automobile gas stations and supermarkets. Benefits include purchase protection plan and up to $100,000 in travel accident insurance. Once you charge more than $6,500, the rebate rate is better than most cards. However, the high APR makes this a good card only if you pay off your balance each month. Rebates appear as a credit 1 month following your anniversary date. Earn cashback on recurring bills by enrolling in the automatic payment option.
