Get A Cash-Rebate Credit Card

When you get Blue Cash(SM) from American Express with Express Approval®, you'll receive up to 5% cash back on all purchases you make with this card.  That's more than the Discover Card pays you and it's more widely accepted than the Discover Card, so you'll have more cash-back buying opportunities.  The last time I checked, you'll receive 0.5% for the first $2,000, 1.0% for the next $4,000, and 3.0% in excess of $5,000.  If your account is carrying a balance, you will receive an additional 2.0% rebate for that billing period.  I advise you to carry a small balance each month, so you'll get this bonus without having to pay much monthly interest.  The drawback to this card is that the interest rate is a little high after the first six months; if that's a problem for you, check out the standard American Express Blue card.  Here are some other benefits you'll receive with this card:

  • You can apply online for Express Approval and find out in moments if you are approved
  • 0% introductory APR (at last check) on purchases and balance transfers for your first 6 billing periods.
  • No annual fee
  • Credit line of up to $100,000.

  • Online Shopping Guarantee, covering you against Internet fraud
  • Buyer's Assurance Plan: Warranty periods are automatically doubled, up to one full year
  • Purchase Protection Plan: Purchases are insured against accidental damage or theft for 90 days, up to $1000
  • Personal Assistance at over 1,700 Travel Service locations
  • Automatic $100,000 Travel Accident Insurance for all travel ticket purchases (plane/train/ship/bus) made with your American Express card
  • American Express Customer Service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • Emergency Card Replacement, usually within 24 hours
  • Fee Free Additional Cards for people close to you

Some other good rebate cards are:
  • Toys 'R' Us:  4% back, to use on toy purchases.  Apply at your local Toys 'R' Us store.

  • GM Card:  5% back, to use on car purchases.  You can find this card at GMCard.com.
