Some people make out very well keeping a variety of cards and using them for different classes of purchases each quarter.

But a limited field of high cash back classes for a limited amount (cap) is not a flat rate cash back credit card.

Nerd Wallet is like any other credit card rater, from their site: "So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us."
My husband is the real money person in our home and he immediately asked if I had checked on the changes over the months. I presume this information is available somewhere and I will have to investigate some more, but still great information. I will be reading your recommendation. Thanks.
