I was at dinner and a family friend was saying their American Express credit card gives 2% cash back. I've never heard of a card that gives 2% on every purchase. They're millionaires so they may have the Centurion card but I haven't heard of that giving you any rewards programs that gives you 2% rewards?

Seems pretty high, I know there's 1% and 1.25% but if there's 2% on all purchases I'd love to know which card it is.

There's a card out by HSBC called the "Weekend Card" or something that gives you 2% cashback on Saturday and Sunday only. Seems pretty ridiculous to me. So you're going to have a card you'll only use on weekends? Or you'll only make your purchases on weekends because that's when you can get the 2% cashback? haha

The American Express Cash Rebate Platinum card gives you 2% cash back if you spend enough. For $0-$2,000 it's 0.25%. $2001-$5,000 = 0.50%, $5001+ = 1.50%, and then a Revolve Bonus 0.50%. The thing that sucks though is the cashback is only given out once a year in February. I's a good card if you'll with with that though.

does the american express platinum card automatically give you that rebate or do you need to sign up for their 'membership rewards' to get it? not that i would qualify for or can afford an amex platinum, but am curious

I forgot about the American Express Blue cash card. That one doesn't give you 2% but it does give you 1.5% after you spend something like $6000 or $6500 annually. Not a bad idea if you're a big spender. It would take me probably half a year to spend that much so it wouldn't work for me.
