While store credit cards like Venus Credit Card* offer easy approval and elevated rewards, they can only be used for purchases at a specific retailer or network of retailers.

If you tend to shop at many different retailers without being tied to Venus catalog, then a general rewards credit card could be the better option for your everyday purchases. You will still be able to earn rewards for purchases at Venus even if you don't have a Venus card. Plus, you'll earn rewards for all of your other purchases, too. A quick way to boost your reward points is to pay for everything, including recurring bills, with your card.

For example, the Discover it® Cash Back credit card offers to earn 5% cash back on everyday purchases at different places you shop each quarter like grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, and more, up to the quarterly maximum when you activate. Plus, earn unlimited 1% cash back on all other purchases. Also Discover will automatically match all the cash back you earn at the end of your first year after you open your new card. You can redeem rewards any amount, anytime, it is also possible to use rewards to pay at checkout at Amazon.com.

It's hard to bet the flexibility of a general rewards credit card. The Wells Fargo Active Cash® Card, for example, is another good option for purchases from Venus or anywhere else. With no bonus categories to keep track of, earning rewards on your Amazon purchases is as easy as clicking to place your order. Better yet, you'll earn that same 2% on the Wells Fargo Active Cash® Card no matter where you shop throughout the year, with no cap or restrictions.
