Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards
$250 welcome bonus · 1.5% on everything else · $0 annual fee
The pitch is simplicity: 1.5% cash back on every purchase, no categories to activate, no caps, and no annual fee. A $200 bonus after $1,000 of spending in the first three months plus 15 months of 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers make the first year the strongest one by a wide margin. The weakness is that 1.5% is a middling flat rate, so this card only makes sense if you value never thinking about categories more than you value the extra return a tiered card would produce. The foreign transaction fee is another reason to leave it home on international trips. Reasonable as a catch-all backup, hard to defend as your only card.
