Cash Back Credit Cards

These cards offer cash back on purchases, which is a great way to be rewarded for your everyday spending. Like rewards cards, these cards are most beneficial when you don't carry a monthly balance. The typical cash back rate is 1%, although some cash back credit cards offer a higher percentage for certain purchases like groceries and gas. Keep in mind that these cards generally require a good to excellent credit rating for approval and often come with a higher interest rate. If you carry a balance month-to-month, you'll probably end up paying many times over in interest what you get in cash back. These are some of the most popular cash back credit cards from Credit Karma's partners.
