- Some cards offer a straight dollar amount, while others give you a percentage of your spending back.
- What's next: We've rounded up Finder's 5 best cashback credit cards below.
A good cashback credit card is one that quickly covers the cost of the annual fee with some form of cashback, be it a capped percentage back on your spending or a flat dollar sum.
But don't focus entirely on the cashback. Make sure the credit card is one you'll actually use. The cashback is the cherry on top.
