There are a lot of cash back credit cards that will allow you to earn more than 1% cash back on your purchases. Today, the average cash back reward is 1.5% cash back on purchases. Some issuers offer 2% or even 5% cash back in particular shopping categories. You can compare offers and pick the one that is best for you. But before you choose, we would recommend you to pay attention to the fees. Ideally, you would want a credit card without an annual fee. Also, it is recommended to pay off the cad balance in full each month to get the most out of a rewards credit card.
