Best Cash Back Card for Apple

American Express · No annual fee

Amex's no-annual-fee cashback card earns 3% in three powerful everyday categories — supermarkets, online retail, and gas. The online retail 3% is especially valuable as more spending moves online. Disney Bundle credit ($84/year) partially offsets the lack of fee, making this an excellent companion card.

Goldman Sachs · No annual fee

Designed by Apple for iPhone users, this card earns instant Daily Cash (deposited the same day you pay) on every purchase. The 3% on Apple and partner merchants rewards the Apple ecosystem. No late fees, no annual fee, and the beautiful titanium card make it a low-stress daily driver — especially for Apple Pay users.

Discover · No annual fee

The best secured credit card by a wide margin — and the only secured card that earns meaningful cash back rewards. Most secured cards offer nothing; Discover gives you 2% on gas and dining with Cashback Match doubling it all year one. Automatic review for upgrade to unsecured after 7 months means your deposit is returned faster than most.

Discover · No annual fee

Exceptional value with 5% rotating categories and a unique Cashback Match that doubles all rewards the first year.

Chase · No annual fee

The best no-annual-fee business credit card for companies spending on office supplies and telecom. Earn 5% cash back at office supply stores, on internet, cable, and phone services — categories that most businesses use heavily. The $750 welcome bonus after just $6,000 spend makes the first year especially lucrative.

Chase · No annual fee

One of the best no-annual-fee cards available, combining 5% rotating bonus categories with a permanent 3% on dining and drugstores. When paired with a Chase Sapphire card, cash back converts to transferable Ultimate Rewards points worth 1.25–1.5 cents each — dramatically increasing value. Cell phone protection is a bonus you won't find on most free cards.

Discover · No annual fee

The best student credit card overall. Discover's Cashback Match effectively doubles all rewards earned in your first year — making a 5% rotating category card worth up to 10% on quarterly categories during year one. No annual fee, no late fee on your first missed payment, and a $20 Good Grades reward make this extraordinarily forgiving for first-time cardholders.

Chase · No annual fee

Earn 5% on Chase Travel, 3% on dining and drugstores, and an unlimited 1.5% on all other purchases with no annual fee. When paired with a Sapphire card, points become fully transferable to 14 airline and hotel partners — making this one of the best zero-fee companion cards in the market.
