RBC Visa Cash Back Card

The RBC Visa Cash Back Card is a great credit card for anyone who looks to collect cash back rewards.

How much cash back do you earn?

On qualifying purchases, you will earn 1% cash back, which includes when you arrange for pre-authorized payments on your cash back account. This means for every $100 you spend, you earn $1.00.

You are able to earn an additional 5% cash back on grocery store purchases. As it stands, this is a promotional offer, and will only last till December 31^st, 2010.
