Cash back is a rewards program associated with credit cards that allows you to return a percentage of the amount spent on your credit card over a particular period of time. Credit cards that offer cash back refer to rewards credit cards and are known as cash back credit cards.
When you use your cash back credit card, you earn cash back rebates which you can then redeem for checks, gift cards or credit to your account. Cash back rewards credit cards usually target applicants with good to excellent credit.
