Learning About Cash Back Credit Cards: Good or Bad Idea?

Getting a credit card that offers cash back always sounds like a good idea.  What could be better than getting cash back on all the purchases that you make with your credit card?  It sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?

Well, there are cards that give you free cash, but it is usually only around 1% cash back.  However, free money is free money, right?  Well, sometimes.

If you like to buy a lot of things in one month, this kind of credit card probably sounds great to you.  However, you need to keep in mind that they are not going to give you cash back on every purchase that you make.  Even if they claim to give you cash back on every purchase, they will only give you up to a certain amount per transaction.  The company also has a strict limit on the amount that they will give back to their customers.  If you read the little, bitty print on the form that you signed, you will see a paragraph with their limits in the terms and agreements.

This is another way to try to draw in new customers for these companies.  It is a good credit card to have and sounds great in theory, but they will have to check your credit rating before they will give you their card.

Research different credit card companies to see what they are offering.  You may be surprised to find a cash back credit card that offers you just what you need and want with a high cash back percentage, few limits on the amount they will give you back, and instant cash deposits when you make each purchase with their card.

Although these credit cards seem like a great thing to have, some companies will need your credit rating to be great too.  However, there are credit card companies that offer these cards to people with a low credit rating to help them rebuild their credit.  Research all of your options.

What should your decision be?  If you have a good credit rating, then this card is a great option for you.  Research different card companies – there are cards out there that offer you up to 3% cash back and impose very few limits.  If, however, you have a bad credit rating, you may want to find a credit card that will help you rebuild your credit.

    - Yeah, I was mistaken the headline what I read was “Britain gives £295m to India – India spends £200m on world’s tallest statue” So we are actually paying for the statue with leftovers. Nuclear weapons can't be cheap and running a space prgram can't be either but the country has both. On TV you see adverts of people of certain African countries having to drink dirty water, why don't we give them money. I'm sure £295 million could have built a whole water processing plant for them.

    And, yeah, I find the Census choices boggling. It may be that if I dug deeper in the site, I could find more breakdowns of information. The one that I would think would be extremely prominent would be a pie chart showing what poverty looks like in the USA: percentage White, percentage Black, percentage Hispanic, percentage Asian, percentage Native American, percentage Other. They could give us a couple of charts depending on how we wanted to view “Hispanic.” (Are they a language group, or are they Native Americans? Part of what I hate about the idea of race is that it's so unwieldy.)]]>
