Re: 2% - 3% Cashback (CB) Credit Card (CC) - List

So any of the nationally available cards (that don't involve an AF or joining something) avoid Experian? SoFi and Citi both use Experian and almost all of my inquiries are Experian.

I'm not sure what is meant by "avoid", but a variety of them tend to use whatever CRAs they have contractual agreements or partnerships.  PayPal 2% CB has been known to pull TU and/or EX.  BBVA and FNBO pull EX, for instance.  It will really depend on the bank or CU.

I think Fidelity pulls TU.  All you would need is to open a free brokerage account to deposit the cashback. Then transfer it out from there.

Thanks for sharing your update on this @galahad15. I would suggest posting a thread in the Approvals forum so that others can learn more about the process with this particular CU and any other DPs you can offer.

Can we compare the 2% back cards?

It seems that 2% back cards are now blossoming.  The purpose of this thread is for the community to chime in on the pros and cons of these 2% cards that may be the new battle ground for issuers in the once ubiquitous 1.5% arena.

 

I prefer that the scope of this be focused on credit cards that offer unlimited, 2% back on all purchases with no annual fee ever and is for personal usage.

 

The Ollo rewards card, for instance, is excluded as this 2% back applies to gas, grocery and drug store purchases only.  The Spark 2% cash by Capital One is excluded since this is a business card.

 

For discussion, so far we have:

 

Active Cash by Wells Fargo

Double Rewards by Citi

Double Up by TD Bank

Evergreen Rewards by FBNO

Fidelity Rewards by Fidelity

PayPal Cashback by Synchrony

Sofi card

PenFed Power Cash Rewards is 2% if you're military or open a checking with $500 balance. 

 

Synchrony's private label MC is 2% as well.
