Rebate-Credit-Cards.info

To be listed on this site, a credit card must have:

• no sign-up fee
• no annual fee (or easily avoided)
• a rebate or cashback award system

So, you can rest assured they each have their charm.  If in doubt, just apply for all of them! (I mean, if your personal credit rating can handle it, why not?)

If you are going to apply for multiple cards, its best to do them all at the same time. Good luck!

Each of the cards listed here serves a specific purpose in earning you cash back, and you really ought to have all of them. Anybody who wants to beat the system (I mean, get the best cash back possible in all situations) should have each of these cards in their wallet and know when to use them. Just ask anybody who has one or more of these cards and they will tell you (with a gleam in their eye) how they much they love earning 'free money'.  I personally have received over $2000 of cash back (or free gas) by using these cards (or their predecessors) over the past 8 years. (Yes two thousand, that is not a typo.  You probably spend more on your credit cards than you realize.)

5% cash back at supermarkets, drugstores, and gas
(also 1% off everything, but best to use another card for that)
