Cash Back Rewards

GST2008 — Sat, 17 May 2008 23:22:44 GMT

Is there any credit card that gives more than 1% for cash back rewards and does not have a limit for those rewards? Also it would be a Visa or Mastercard. I have been looking w/o success for one that gives more than that on all purchase, not just specific items. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

There aren't many that give more than 1% cash on absolutely everything. If you insist on avoiding purchase categories, your options are going to be quite limited.

Cap1 No Hassle Cash gives 1% on everything and then an annual 25% bonus of all the cash you earned during the year, which makes a total of 1.25%.

Amex Blue Cash, Chase Freedom, Citi cashback cards, Penfed, Discover More, etc etc are good cashback cards that give much more than 1%, but they are category-oriented.

Thanks for all the feedback. Here is why I'm looking for a card with more than 1%. My brother and I own a small business and we currently spend about $200,000.00 a year with our vendors. Our largest vendor only takes MC or Visa, otherwise we'd use our Amex. We pay the bills in cash right now every week but I thought a cash back rewards card would be a great way to put our money to use for us. We have an Advanta and a Chase card, but they both only pay 1%. I thought there might be a way to get more than that. It appears that all the cards that do offer more have categories or caps on how much they will let you redeem in a year.

I'm loving PenFed (Pentagon Federal Credit Union) Rewards Visa:

5% at the gas pump
2% at the supermarket
1.25% all other purchases

Credited monthly and no maximums.

Right now they also have a lifetime balance transfer rate of 2.99% until paid off. Nice, nice (though not sure if they count toward rewards??)
