If you have stellar credit, you want a card with the most competitive offer. After all, if your credit qualifies you for the best, you deserve the best. With so many credit card offers, it’s hard to determine which cards are worth their salt. To help, we’re detailing the top 7 cards for those with good to excellent credit (usually considered a credit score of 700 or higher). Keep reading to find the perfect addition to your wallet.
Capital One Savor Cash Rewards Credit Card
With the highest intro bonus of any cash back credit card we’ve reviewed (cardholders who spend $3,000 on purchases within the first 3 months from account opening will get a hefty $500 bonus!), the Capital One Savor Cash Rewards Credit Card is hard to beat. It earns an uncapped 4% cash back on dining and entertainment (movie theaters, tourist attractions and more), 2% cash back at grocery stores and 1% cash back on all other purchases. There are also no foreign transaction fees and no annual fee for the first year (then it’s $95).
Discover it Cash Back
Discover it Cash Back earns 5% cash back on rotating categories every quarter you activate (up to the quarterly maximum, currently $1,500, then it’s 1%) and 1% cash back on other purchases. Discover will match all of the cash back new cardholders earn at the end of their first year, meaning if you earn $300 in the first year, Discover will match that $300 for a total of $600 back! The Discover it Cash Back card has a long 0% intro APR period and requires average to excellent credit (a credit score of 670 or higher) for approval — click “Show Details” to see more.
Wells Fargo Platinum Visa Card
If you prefer a straightforward low APR credit card, the Wells Fargo Platinum Visa Card is right for you, as it offers an 18-month 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers (with an intro balance transfer fee of 3% for 18 months, then it’s 5%). This card also comes with no annual fee and free access to your FICO credit score. On top of that, those who use their Wells Fargo Platinum Visa Card to pay their monthly cell phone bill will receive up to $600 phone protection against covered damage or theft (with a $25 deductible per claim and a maximum of 2 claims per year).
Bank of America Cash Rewards credit card
The Bank of America Cash Rewards credit card offers a $200 bonus to cardholders who spend $500 on purchases in the first 90 days — that’s like earning 40% cash back on the first $500 spent! On top of that, you’ll earn 3% cash back on gas and 2% cash back at grocery stores and wholesale clubs (up to the first $2,500/quarter on gas/grocery/wholesale club purchases). Cardholders will also earn 1% cash back on all other purchases and pay no annual fee. Click “Show Details” to learn about the card’s 0% intro APR period, the customer bonus opportunity and more.
Citi Double Cash Card
The Citi Double Cash Card offers an 18-month 0% intro APR on balance transfers (with a 3% balance transfer fee, $5 minimum). On top of that, you’ll earn 2% cash back on all purchases: 1% cash back when you make a purchase and another 1% when you pay for the purchase. The cash back rewards do not apply to balance transfers, but we don’t think it is that big of a deal since the card has so many other strong features, like the long 0% intro APR on balance transfers. The Citi Double Cash Card also has no annual fee and offers free monthly FICO scores.
Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card
Travel is easy with the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card. That’s because this card not only earns an unlimited 2X miles on all purchases, but it also offers 50,000 bonus miles — that’s worth $500 in travel — to cardholders who spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. Plus, cardholders will earn an unlimited 10X miles when they book through Hotels.com/Venture through Jan. 31, 2020 and pay no foreign transaction fees and no annual fee for the first year (then it’s $95).
Citi Simplicity Card – No Late Fees Ever
The Citi Simplicity Card – No Late Fees Ever (a NextAdvisor advertiser) offers a whopping 21-month 0% intro APR on balance transfers. The balance transfer fee is a bit higher at 5% with a $5 minimum (other cards usually charge 3%), but 21 months is the longest 0% intro APR we’ve seen, usually making the fee worth paying. Cardholders will also get a 12-month 0% intro APR on purchases. Rounding things out are no annual fee no late fees and no penalty APR, which means paying late won’t increase your APR.
