Some might say that in these particularly difficult financial times, having CASH BACK would be what they want, ideally. In 2005, 43 different credit cards offered cash back as a reward. in 2009, there are only 13. But what consumers need to come to realize, is that the cash back reward was usually limited to 15-20 dollars a month. so wouldnt you prefer to get air miles, which may save you much more than 15-20 dollars a month, next time you travel? Or how about something that you use everyday, like fuel. Free fuel is the same thing as free money essentially. Busineses are the ones who seem to truly benefit from the cash back credit card reward. They don't seem to have a limit per month, rather a .5% on their spendings. It has become apparent that cash back credit cards have recently been on a steep decline as far as availability goes.

I use credit cards a whole lot and I didn't know about purchase protection. I used to even charge a .75 cent candy bar I would bought but now I pay for everyday purchases with cash so it makes it easier for me to review my statements when I don't have to go through so many tiny purchases.

I can say from personal experience that it does come in handy - I used it for a new TV that was accidentally damaged in a move a few years back.
