Consumers are advised to take advantage of the offers available on cash back credit cards, according to Defaqto.

The company explains that, although comparing the best deals is not always straight forward, there are significant “incentives” for choosing them.

Principal consultant, David Black, commented: “Despite their complexities, cash back credit cards offer a genuine return for card holders but are only appropriate for those people who always pay off their entire balance every month.

“This is another example in the credit card industry where consumers can take advantage of the offers by having more than one card and using each selectively to maximise cash back earnings.”

Some of the complexities of conditions and bonuses include tiered earning rates, introductory enhanced rates, maximum qualifying spends and enhanced earnings at specific retailers.

Defaqto is an independent financial data collection and research body, giving up-to-date product information to the financial services industry.
