We’ve recently been offering tips on comparing different types of credit cards including rewards cards in general. We’ve also taken a closer look at comparing specific segments of rewards cards including frequent flyer cards and cash back credit cards.

On top of the general tips and suggestions we’ve offered, such as different factors to consider when comparing specific types of credit cards, we’re releasing a series of credit card comparison charts. The credit card comparison chart below is designed to help you compare cash back credit cards based on five factors we consider important.

We understand that you might consider other factors equally (or more) important. That’s why we created a .pdf version of the cash back credit card comparison chart as well. By downloading and printing that chart out, you can add any other factors you want in the blank columns provided. The .pdf version also allows you to compare up to ten different cash back credit cards at one time as opposed to five credit cards in the abbreviated example below.

There is an example credit card listed in the chart below (and the .pdf version) to show you how you can fill out and use the comparison chart. The details for the sample credit card used were accurate at the time of writing.

To download and print the .pdf version just click this link. (Note: You will need Adobe’s Acrobat reader or another .pdf reader to open this file.)

It’s our hope that this cash back credit card comparison chart will help you more efficiently compare credit cards you’re considering. If you’re not interested specifically in cash back credit cards, that’s okay. Perhaps one of our other credit card comparison charts will better suit your needs:
