Significant factors you should consider while choosing the best cashback credit card are as follow:

• Credit card spending pattern: Check your expenses and calculate how much you pay for the food, movies, shopping, etc. from your monthly budget. Based on that, individuals must choose a credit card that offers maximum cashback benefits on specific categories. For instance, if you use your credit card majorly for shopping, you may go for a credit card that offers the most benefits on shopping.
• Credit card payment pattern: Your payment behaviour is the critical criteria while choosing the best credit card. To avoid an excessive interest rate, you must ensure that you pay your credit card dues timely every month. There's no particular incentive of having a cashback credit card if you don't make payments on time as the accumulated interest will wash away these advantages.
• Fee and charges: You must be aware of each card's charges when applying for a cashback Credit Card. Compare the cards online and decide if the card suits your requirements. A card may offer very enticing discounts, cashback and rewards, but monthly premiums, annual fees, subscription fees and other costs can be very high. This will make the cashback you received on spending redundant.
• Your income: If you have a credit card that might significantly raise your cost and maybe put you into debt, then you should take good note of your monthly net income. It will help if you plan your spending. If you are sure that you can pay your credit card bills regularly then only you should go for it.

The eligibility criteria for a cashback credit card is:

• The age of applicants should be between 0 to 30 years.
• They should be an Indian resident or a Non-Resident Indian.
• They should have a permanent monthly income.
• They must have an excellent CIBIL score above 750.

Some of the benefits of cashback credit card are:

• Avail direct and immediate discount/cashback on the shopping value.
• You can convert your transactions into convenient EMIs.
• Cashback credit cards allow you to redeem cashback/discount hassle-free and automatically.
• Avail of special discounts on bills payment, travel, movies.
• Applicants should choose a card offering a higher discount on categories they are likely to spend the most.

✅Is a cash back credit card really worth it?

If you are sticking to your budget, paying your monthly balance on time and if your transactions do not attract any penalty charges, then a cashback credit card can be very beneficial.

✅Can you earn cashback with a credit card?

Yes, you can get a cashback on the purchases made through the credit card.

✅Is it better to get cash back or points?

Cashbacks are flexible and easily redeemable, while points or miles may sway the chances of paid-for holidays and more excellent reward value per rupee spent. Also, some cards now allow redeeming points and rewards for cash.

✅Should you redeem points for cash?

Yes, you should redeem the points for cash back because the value might decrease due to inflation. Card issuers also put a deadline till when you can convert the points or miles to cash. And if the funds would not lose any of their worth year by year, holding it makes no sense.

✅Can reward points be converted to cash?

Once the points or rewards offered to you, some credit cards offer to convert the points into cash.
