💳️ Survey Responses: What’s the Best Cash Back Credit Card? |
butler: “For cash back, I want a card that offers the best rate without having to deal with the rotating category nonsense. I have had the [Citi] Double Cash card for years and love it.” |
OU812: “I have the Double Cash Mastercard as well because Clark recommended it. I also got the PayPal Mastercard because it pays 3% for PayPal purchases and 2% for everything else. However, you can’t apply [your cash back] directly to the card balance. So I don’t use it except for PayPal purchases.” |
JohnRT: “I used Citi Double Cash for years, but when Wells Fargo Active Cash came out with the same 2%, but [without the] two-step process [to claim your cash back], I immediately changed to Wells Fargo Active Cash as my primary card.” |
