There are a lot of gimmicks out there and a tremendous amount of fine print when it comes to rewards cards. The best cash back I've seen is through Emigrantdirect.com. You will need to have a savings account with them, but their savings is an astonishing 4% APY...No Fees... No strings attached. This is not a CD, just a savings account accessed online. It's been a wonderful discovery for me. They have recently offered a credit card with a best reward of 1.25% on all purchases, payable every 6 months. This offer is available to savings account holders with $10,000 or more on deposit.Don't be fooled by all the claims of 3% or 5%. It's always for a limited time and limited as to how much you can earn. You also have to jump through hoops finding retailers that actually fall under their "qualified" categories.If you can open a savings, Emigrantdirect has no limits or stipulations, just 1.25% on all purchases.Good luck in your search

It’s just easier to swipe a piece of plastic than it is to flash the cash.Myth: “Ninety days same as cash” is the smart way to buy.Fact: “Ninety days same as cash” is a scam. Retailers know that most consumers won’t pay their balance in 90 days, which means you get stuck with outrageous interest rates and back charges to boot.Myth: I’m required to have a credit card to buy a house.Fact: Several quality mortgage companies provide underwriting which allows you to purchase a home without a credit card.
