Here are some of the credit cards that we recommend. If you follow the guidelines in Proper Use of Credit Cards, then you should be using one of these cards. None of these cards charge an annual fee, and all will give you a little something back when you use them wisely. I am not suggesting that you need to get more credit cards, but you may find a better deal with one of these cards and be able to get rid of one of your current credit cards.
All of the credit cards in this category will actually give you cash back. Most will mail you a check once a year. On some of the cards you have to reach a certain minimum amount before they will send you a check. These are the best deals you can find, getting paid to buy things that you are going to buy anyway. Just remember to only charge what you can afford to pay off when you get the bill each month.
