Cash Back credit cards offer great incentives for the savvy spender. For every dollar you spend, you receive a certain portion back in the form of cash rewards – generally around 1% of your purchases. Look for cards that offer percentage bonuses in shopping categories that match your spending habits. Cash Back reward cards are best suited for people who use their credit card for everyday purchases, but pay off the balance each month.
‡ These are highlights of the credit card rewards program (the "Program") associated with this credit card account. MBNA Dollars will be awarded on eligible transactions charged to your account. There is a monthly spend cap of $500 on the earn rate for eligible gas and grocery purchases. Once the monthly spend cap has been reached, eligible gas and groceries purchases will only earn the Base Earn Rate. Complete terms and conditions describing Program eligibility, accrual, earn limits, and redemption of MBNA Dollars, and other important conditions, limitations and restrictions will be sent after your account is opened. Please read the terms and conditions carefully upon receipt.
†† To qualify for this offer, an applicant must be approved for the specific credit card account described in the offer. For the first six (6) months after the account is opened (the “Bonus Period“), eligible gas and grocery purchases will earn 5% in MBNA Dollars until the total gas and grocery purchases in the applicable month reaches $500 (the "Gas and Groceries Monthly Spend Cap"). Once the Gas and Groceries Monthly Spend Cap has been reached, eligible gas and groceries purchases will only earn the Base Earn Rate. Please allow 8–10 weeks from the transaction date for bonus MBNA Dollars to be posted to your MBNA Dollars account. Limit one-time bonus MBNA Dollars offer per new account.

The key to getting the right credit card is to make sure the card works for you, not against you. For example, if you have a habit of carrying a monthly balance then it's advisable to choose a card with a low interest rate. Generally, rewards cards and cash back cards do not have low interest rates. However, if you pay off your balance every month then using a rewards card can actually add to your bottom line.
Cash back credit cards offer a no-hassle way to earn rewards on all your purchases. There's no points to keep track of and you can always get exactly what you want with cash. As the saying goes, "cash is king."
Choosing the best cash back credit card depends on your spending habits and goals. Take advantage of special offers and spending categories. Remember rewards based cards generally do not have low interest rates so don't carry a monthly balance on them.
