One of my favorite money maximizing moves is to use credit cards that offer cash back reward to pay for everything I normally would (note: this doesn’t mean go out and spend money needlessly, it means using credit card instead of cash when you can). In return, you’ll get a small amount of money back in the form of cash back reward. Some of these cards, such as the Discover Cards, offer special promotion where you can earn as high as 5% cash back reward on some purchases.
As of 3/15/2010, these are some of the best cash back credit cards with up to 5% rebate on purchases. You can immediately apply for these cards by clicking on the name or the card image. Please be sure to review all information carefully before applying for the card.
