If you need a card without foreign transaction fees or want to earn travel rewards, you should consider one of our top travel cards instead. Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards and BankAmericard both charge a 3 percent foreign transaction fee, so they also tie \u2014 but not in a good way \u2014 in this category.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"earns-most\" data-position=\"3\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-3-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Which card earns the most?\" data-outcome=\"\">Which card earns the most?<\/h2>\n<p><u>Choosing the best credit card<\/u> often comes down to matching a card\u2019s rewards structure with your personal spending habits. Many cards offer elevated cash back or rewards for spending in certain categories, while others offer a flat rate across all purchases. Earning a flat 1.5 percent cash back on all purchases (coupled with its offer of 2 percent cash back on purchases for the first year, then 1.5 percent), the Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards card clearly packs more long-term earnings value than the BankAmericard \u2014 which doesn\u2019t offer a rewards program at all.<\/p>\n<h3>Spending example<\/h3>\n<p>Say you spend about $1,000 per month ($12,000 per year) with the Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards credit card. In that case, you\u2019ll earn $15 per month ($180 per year) in <u>cash back<\/u>. With the card\u2019s offer, you would earn even more the first year with the same spend \u2014 $240. If you spend the same amount per month with the BankAmericard, you won\u2019t earn any rewards on that same spending.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not to say that a card\u2019s earnings rate is the only point you should consider. For example, the BankAmericard\u2019s introductory APR offer lasts three billing cycles longer than the intro APR offer on the Unlimited Cash Rewards card. Depending on the size of your balance, giving yourself extra time to pay it off with zero interest could easily offset any cash back gains you may have earned during those months. It also comes with a lower ongoing <span data-capi-fee=\"ongoing_annual\" data-pid=\"6544\">$0<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"boa\" data-position=\"4\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-4-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Why should you get the Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards?\" data-outcome=\"\">Why should you get the Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards?<\/h2>\n<p>The Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards card <u>might be worth it<\/u> if you\u2019re interested in an introductory APR offer for balance transfers and purchases while also earning rewards on your purchases.
