    Default What is the best cash-back card for a bigger spender?

    I spend about $60,000 annually on things that are cl***ified as "all other purchases". Based on my research, I believe that the Sam's Club Discover Visa card will earn me the most cash-back. Check out he following breakdown. But I want to double check to make sure if anyone here knows of a card that will perhaps give me even more cash-back.

    Up to $1,500 0.25%
    $1,500.01 - $3,000 0.50%
    $3,000.01 - $5,000 1.00%
    $5,000.01 - $10,000 1.75%
    $10,000.01 - $1,000,000 2.00%

    So
    First $1,500 Rebate amount: $3.75
    $1,500.01 - $3,000 Rebate amount: $7.5
    $3,000.01 - $5,000 Rebate amount: $20
    $5,000.01 - $10,000 Rebate amount: $87.5
    $10,000.01 - $60,000 Rebate amount: $1,024

    Total rebate amount: $1,142.75 minus $100 (Sam's club membership fee)= $1,042.75

    Thanks alot for your advice.

    Have you considered the Blue Cash? While 2% above $10k looks good, you might want to check out how it looks if you breakdown your spending. I suspect using a combination of cards may also work better. Tell me your results when you use our calculator :

    I will have to use other cashback credit cards for my grocery, gas and utility but for "other purchases" I believe the Sam's club discover card offers better cashback then Blue Cash, but only drawback is you must cash the cheque at a Sam's club.
