Comenity GasBuddy Mastercard is a no-annual-fee cash back card from Comenity. Its best everyday rates are 3% on dining; everything else earns 1%.
On our reference budget of $24,600 a year it returns about $318, an effective 1.3% back. The welcome bonus, $25 after $500 in 120 days, adds to the first year's return.
It is a stepping-stone card. Keep the balance low and revisit once your score reaches the good range, where no-fee cards with better rates open up. It charges 3% on foreign purchases, so leave it home when you travel abroad.
