Cashback cards · Prototype hub
Cashback cards
for simple, predictable value back.
This sub-hub on Choose.Creditcard focuses on cards that give you money back on what you spend: flat-rate or category-based cashback. The emphasis is on real % back after fees, caps and FX – not just headline numbers. Everything here is a prototype and educational only.
When this type of card makes sense
- You value simple cash back more than points or miles complexity.
- You pay off your balance in full each month, so interest doesn’t wipe out rewards.
- Your spending is concentrated in a few clear categories: groceries, fuel, online, travel.
- You want predictable, transparent value instead of chasing “sweet spots”.
This page does not recommend any real products yet. Card names, cashback rates and perks below are placeholders. Always check the issuer’s own documentation before applying.
Cashback profiles (prototype)
Later, these profiles can link to country-specific card line-ups that match different spending patterns. For now, they just illustrate how the cashback hub might be structured.
Cashback resources in The CreditCard Collection
These links go to other microsites in The CreditCard Collection. They explore how cashback structures work, how to compare offers, and how cashback interacts with FX and rewards. All are independent, prototype educational pages – not issuer marketing.

How this cashback hub fits into Choose.Creditcard
1. Themed sub-hub
This page is a Cashback sub-hub under Choose.Creditcard. It narrows the comparison to simple % back and payout rules, while the main /index page keeps a broader overview.
2. Shared scoring model
When real cards are added, they will be scored using the same documentation-based model as the main hub: effective cashback after fees, FX markups, caps and breakage.
3. Clear separation from issuers
No bank or issuer has paid to appear here. Future affiliate links, if any, will be clearly labeled and will not change how cards are scored or ordered.
