Best Cashback card?
 
So I have quite a few miles cards, but what is the best for cash back?

If you have an Fidelity (cash managment) account, Fidelity/MBNA has 1.5% rebate up to $1500/yr.

If you have an 529 account with Fidelity, Fidelity/MBNA has 2% rebate toward its 529 account.

Is there a max limit on the 529 one?

I believe it's $1500/yr.

Citi has a couple of 5%/1% cards but they are limited to $300/yr; 5% rebate is at gas, grocery and drug stores...

My US Credit Card Comparison Table includes a variety of cards (cash back is the last section) from the major players. There is a lot of fine print with cashback cards so you will be reading a lot - still the table might have some useful info for you.

THanks Andrew. Any chance you'll update with the Fidelity cards?

Chance = Yes, Strong chance in next few days = Not really ;) I am trying to get some non-FF related things done this week....

I have several but these two are my favorite.

Chase PerFect 1% on everyday purchases and 3% on gasoline. The rebate is reflected on the following billing cycle. Also have a specials at sign-up.

PenFed Visa Platinum 1.25% cash rebate. The rebate is also reflected on the following billing cycle.

Fidelity 529 card
 
reading through the fine print on this card, it appears that you can actually get the rebate in cash if you don't open a 529 account. has anyone tried that?

Wow! where is that link? If you are correct then that means a 2% cash back card which is too good to be true. Details please.

The fine print on the online application states that you must open a fidelity managed 529 account to receive payment and that this must be transfered to the account and if not the points you earn expire after one year so from my reading you can not get cash.
