Top 5 Credit card in USA 2020
Source: Forbes
No single credit card is the best
option for every family, every purchase or every budget. Your credit
history, the composition of your family, how much you spend and on what,
whether you travel abroad and whether you are comfortable having
multiple cards could all affect the best card for you.
In short, the best credit card for an affluent single who splurges on foreign travel and eating out may be different than the best for a cost-conscious family that goes camping for vacation and mostly shops at Target.
For this reason, Forbes Advisor has chosen the best credit cards of 2020 in a way designed to be the most helpful to the widest variety of readers. Rather than simply selecting the “best rewards card” or “best cash back card,’’ we’ve attempted, with this list, to highlight the best cards for a variety of situations.
Keep in mind that most Americans have more than one credit card—according to Experian, Millennials have an average of 2.5 credit cards each, and Baby Boomers average 3.5 each. With that in mind, you can choose a card that rewards your spending in certain categories such as groceries or dining, then a flat rate rewards card to compliment it.
