U.S. Bank Shopper Cash Rewards Visa Signature®

Quick Snapshot

• Annual Fee: $0
• APR: 17.49%-27.49% variable
• Rewards: 6% cash back at two retailers you choose, 3% at one retailer you choose, 2% at grocery stores and gas stations, 1% on everything else
• Bonus: Earn $200 bonus after spending $1,000 in the first 4 months
• Best For: Loyal shoppers who concentrate spending at specific retailers and want the highest cash back rate possible
• Credit Needed: Good to Excellent (670+)

Overview

The U.S. Bank Shopper Cash Rewards card offers the highest retailer-specific cash back rate of any general-purpose credit card. You choose two retailers to earn 6% cash back and one retailer to earn 3%, from a list that includes Amazon, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Costco, Best Buy, Starbucks, and many others. Grocery stores and gas stations earn 2%, and everything else earns 1%.

The 6% rate is exceptionally high for a no-annual-fee card. If you consistently shop at two specific retailers, this card delivers value that is hard to match. For example, earning 6% on $500 per month at Amazon and 6% on $300 per month at Target adds up quickly. The 3% on a third retailer provides additional value, and the 2% on grocery and gas covers essential spending.

The card includes a $200 welcome bonus after $1,000 in spending, no annual fee, no penalty APR, and Visa Signature protections. The main trade-off is that the 6% and 3% rates are limited to the retailers you select, so this card works best for people with predictable shopping habits at major retailers.
