Cash back is generally regarded as one of the best credit card rewards because it's so simple: cardholders earn a percentage back on all their spending.
Unfortunately, comparing the top deals isn't quite so simple. Most have higher earning introductory periods and some offer higher rates of return exclusively on spending with certain types of retailers. Our calculator should help but take a look at our cash back guide or check out the latest cash back news stories here for more information on what to look out for.
