Credit Card Types
A cashback reward program is an incentive program operated by credit card companies where a percentage of the amount spent is paid back to the card holder.
Card holders typically receive between 0.5% and 2% of their net expenditure (purchases minus refunds) as an annual rebate, which is either credited to the credit card account or paid to the card holder separately.
Things to consider:
Limitations: Most cashback credit cards have a maximum cash back threshold, so the cashback is a percentage of the amount spent per year, but to a maximum value. Preferred Retailers: Sometimes the cashback percentage varies depending on the type of purchase and the retailer.
A points reward program is an incentive program operated by credit card companies where points are rewarded against the amount spent per billing cycle.
Card holders typically receive points against their net expenditure (purchases minus refunds) as a monthly reward, which can be redeemed for products and services from partners of the Credit Card Company.
