The American Express Cash Magnet® Card is a no-fuss, flat-rate rewards card that offers unlimited 1.5% cash back on purchases. For new cardholders, the card also features a generous welcome bonus when you meet the spending thresholds.
Getting 1.5% cash back on virtually everything you buy is a decent return, especially if you're seeking simplicity. The American Express Cash Magnet® Card has an annual fee of $0, not to mention an introductory 0% APR period on purchases and balance transfers. These features make it a good low-cost, long-term option.
Just be aware that other rewards cards can be more lucrative if you're willing to keep track of tiered rewards or bonus categories.
Also keep in mind that redemption options for the American Express Cash Magnet® Card are limited to statement credit, gift cards or merchandise. There's also a minimum redemption threshold.
