But that’s not to say that St. Patrick’s Day isn’t mighty. March 17th is about celebrating a nation’s heritage as much as it is to indulge in a pint or two (or three).

March 12th, 2011 Ryan Parker No Comments »

There was a time when choosing a rewards credit card like a cash back card was relatively easy. The standard ones offered a simple 1 percent rebate on every purchase you made on the card. The better ones paid 5 percent on certain items like gas. Choosing the better card was a no-brainer, but things began to change just before the financial crisis hit us in 2008.

Firstly, many credit card issuers found out their cash back cards were not as profitable as they thought (especially the ones which paid 5 percent rebates), so they started scaling back on the rewards they offered.

Reducing Rebates
