I guess we need more financial education in this matter, this might be the right solution for solving the credit "crisis".

I believe it's the "basic" Discover card. It is nice to get 5% on categories that you wouldn't get with other cards. I don't use it much because I forget which categories are up each quarter. I usually think about it when I need to make a big purchase, like airline flights. But I believe there's cap on how much you can get back each quarter. In order to get the 5% you need to register with Discover each quarter. I think it's their way of making sure your contact information stays current. Thanks for your comment. Robert:

They have a new 5% cash back category each month or quarter. This quarter they have 5% cash back on travel expenses (airline, hotels, etc). While it can be hard to remember when to use it, you can't beat 5%. Another good Rewards card for limited use is Discover. They have a new 5% cash back category each month or quarter.
