  • The Capital One Quicksilver Card gives you 1.5% Cash Back on every purchase, every day plus you earn a one-time $150 signup bonus.
  • The Citi Double Cash Card gives you a whopping 2% cashback on your chases. 1% on purchases and an additional 1% as you pay for those purchases.
  • You don’t have to worry about category changes every quarter with the Chase Freedom Unlimited.  You get unlimited 1.5% Cash Back on every purchase, every day plus you earn a one-time $150 signup bonus.

So, if your discretionary expenses total $3,000 per month, you will get $45 ($3,000×0.015) back from Capital One for using the card to pay for your monthly expenses.  That’s roughly $540 ($45*12) per year.
