2% Cash Back

HSBC Household Bank Rewards MasterCard 2% Cash Back on All Purchases

by Hu$tler on July 7, 2011

in Credit Card bonuses

The Household Bank® Rewards MasterCard is now offering 2% cash back on all purchases plus a 0% Introductory APR for 9 months and go to a variable 19.90% APR thereafter. You will earn 2 points for every $1 in net purchases, which can be redeemed for merchandise, gift certificates, or cash back. Cash back redemption starts at $25 for 2500 points. This card would be a great addition with the 5% cash back categories credit cards.

Rates and Rewards Features:

  •  0% Introductory APR on credit card Purchases. After that, receive a competitive variable APR of 19.90%.
  • Earn points redeemable for 2% cash back or other rewards
  • 24/7 online account management
  • Customer service representatives to assist you with questions
  • Automatic credit reporting to 3 major credit bureaus
  • 100% protection for unauthorized use

The Household Bank Rewards MasterCard is one of a few cards at 2 percent in cash back.  With the Charles Schwab Visa or the Fidelity Retirement Rewards card, you must sign up for their brokerage account in order to get 2% cash back. However, the Household Bank card will ask you no such thing. The annual fee is between $0 and $39, depending on your credit. You can always call in to see if they give you no annual fee after you received your card.

Charles Schwab 2% Cash Back Everything

by Hu$tler on March 26, 2010

in Credit Card bonuses

It has been confirmed on many forums that the 2% Unlimited Charles Schwab Cash Back Credit Card will no longer accept new applicants by the end of March. This means you need to apply for this card ASAP to be grandfathered in and the 2% will still apply to you. I have recommend this card for all my friends and family members simply because this is the best cash back card overall. Another great perk is no foreign transaction fees for using this card overseas.

I recommend to apply over the phone since CSR said they no longer accept online applications.

Call 866-724-9223 and use priority code UAAS36.

Some other  benefits:

- Purchase Replacement for damaged lost or stolen items within 90 days
- Price Protection coverage 60 days
- Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver 15 days US, 31 days international
- Warranty Manager Doubles the warranty up to 1 year
- Lost luggage reimbursement $3000 per trip maximum
- Common Traveler Accident Insurance $1M (accidental loss of life/limb)
- Concierge Services Locate tickets, flowers, etc
- Identity Theft Protection Contacts the credit bureaus for you
- Travel and Emergency Assistance Assistance reboooking flights, getting meds, etc
- Roadside Dispatch Calls tow truck, lock smith, etc
- Visa Signature Dining Zagat ratings access, access to special Fine Wine and Food events
-BOGO movie tickets through Fandango

The cash back will automatically be sent to your Schwab brokerage account each month. Hence, you must open a Schwab brokerage account in order to link your credit card. You can then link your bank account to the brokerage account to withdraw the money. I’ve been doing this for the last 6 months and it works flawlessly.

Looking to make $1020 in free money? Check out Virtual Bank. Only a few more referral links, email me for one today!

Here is how you make $1020. You guess it, it is a referral program. For example, email me at hustlermoneyblog@gmail.com to ask for a referral to Virtual bank along with your full name. Once you open up the account through my referral link, you must deposit $100 into your account. You will make $20 and I too will make $20. If you have a blog, great…do exactly what I am doing. If not, in your Virtual bank account, you can send out referral links to 50 of your friends and family. I would ask them first if they want to open up an account before sending.

by Hu$tler on February 21, 2010

  1. 2% Cash Back for 6 Months -They now offer 2% cash back on for using their non-PIN debit card for 6 months with their online checking account.  Make sure to make an initial deposit of $25. In order to get eh 2% cash back, your purchase must be credit or signature option(do not use your debit PIN).  PerkStreet checking is best fitted for people with high debit card usage.

New Link to Charles Schwab 2% Cash Back Card

by Hu$tler on November 2, 2009

in Credit Card bonuses

The 2% cashback Charles Schwab Invest First Visa Card has been around for awhile.  It’s getting pretty popular, and they have been taking down the old links. Make sure to apply for it before it’s too late. The 2% cash back card is good on all purchases. Get this while it’s available, and there is no annual fee at all. No limit on the cash back you earn. However, you must open a Charles Schwab brokerage account to get unlimited 2% cash back. The cash back will automatically deposited into your Schwab One account.

Good Info from Fatwallet:

Members have reported receiving the credit card one week after getting approval.

Opening an account: 1 pull for each of the following: credit card, brokerage account (“Schwab One Account”) and checking account (3 total pulls if you apply for all 3)

Brokerage account (“One” account) $1000 minimum waived if you have the credit card. Checking account also waives this $1000 minimum.

If you did not get instant approval, call them after a day or two. If you call during the business hours they’ll let you talk to credit analyst and get decision right away. This is a good option, since if the analyst is not sure you have a chance to convince him/her to approve your account (by moving CL, or just by saying that you have enough assets to pay off all balances on your credit report)

Already a Schwab Bank WorldPoints Cardholder?

I have an existing Schwab Bank Visa credit card with WorldPoints rewards. What’s the difference between this card and the new Schwab Bank Invest First card?
The Schwab Bank WorldPoints card is no longer available to new accounts. With your existing WorldPoints card, you earn one Point for every $1 on net retail purchases and can choose from a variety of WorldPoints rewards including travel, merchandise/gift cards, equity trades, and even 1% Cash Back. The new Schwab Bank Invest First card offers unlimited 2% Cash Back on purchases, automatically deposited into your Schwab One account.

Both cards have no annual fee. However, the variable Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) and benefits are different for each card. For more information about rates, fees, other costs, and benefits associated with the new Schwab Bank Invest First card, please refer to the disclosures accompanying the online credit card application.

Can I switch my WorldPoints card to the new Schwab Bank Invest First card?
No. The new Schwab Bank Invest First card is a separate card with new account terms, so you would need to apply for the new card.

Can I roll over Points from my WorldPoints card to the new Schwab Bank Invest First card?
No. The cards offer different rewards programs, so you can’t roll over Points from your existing WorldPoints card to the new Schwab Bank Invest First card.

Do I have to close my WorldPoints card if I open a new Schwab Bank Invest First card?
No. You may choose to keep both credit cards open if you like.

A: Your points will be automatically redeemed at the close of each month and your cash rewards will be deposited into your Schwab One account that is linked to your Schwab Bank Invest First card 5-10 business days after the close of each month. If you provided your Schwab One account number when you applied for your card, we will link that brokerage account to your credit card. If you applied for a Schwab One brokerage account at the same time you applied for the Schwab Bank Invest First card online or by phone, these accounts will be linked. If you opened a Schwab One account separately from your credit card, you will need to link the two accounts. To add, change, or confirm your linked Schwab One account, please log in to schwab.com/creditcard and access your Schwab Bank Invest First account.

You can pay your card in full each month. To do so, call the number on the back of your card and ask them to mail you the auto-pay form. The paper form, unlike the online options, gives you the choice of paying your balance in full.

How to link your account(s) for the Cash.back:
Enroll your account and Log into the Schwab management site, go to the management section for the Schwab card, and then select the “Rewards” tab in that section. There, click on the link “Enroll or verify your Schwab One to receive cash rewards” and link your account from there.
