Cash Back Credit Cards
The key to using a cash back credit card is to NOT carry a balance on the card. You should pay your total balance off monthly.
If you know that you won’t be able to pay off the balance monthly and find yourself carrying a balance; then the balance would negate any reward you might receive.
If you must carry a balance then do not look for a “reward” card but look instead for the lowest interest rate card that you can find. Because the majority of “reward” cards charge a high interest rate.
But, if you pay the balance off monthly you do not need to worry about the high interest rate. You need to worry about finding a card that matches your spending habits.
In this way, you will get the most rewards for using the right card for you.
For example, if you buy a lot of gas, you would want to find a card that offers more rewards for gas purchases. Some cards offer up to five percent back on gas purchases.
But, if that type of card wouldn’t work for your spending habits perhaps you’d be more interested in a card that rewards you for purchases such as, Groceries, Utilities, Travel, Restaurants, Movies, or even Home Improvements.
Yes, it’s true there are cards that reward you for different types of purchases. To find out more about the variety of “reward” cards available you can visit: www.cardoffers.com.
After your research and you discover the perfect card for your spending habits, make sure it doesn’t charge you an annual fee. Whether you choose a “reward” card or a low-interest card you will want to avoid a card that charges an annual fee.
