Frequently asked questions
- Are cashback or miles cards better for families?
- For most families, cashback wins — everyday grocery, dining and transport spend earns guaranteed returns without the effort of redeeming miles well. Miles suit families that travel often.
- What's the catch with high-cashback family cards?
- Top rates usually need a minimum monthly spend and are capped, so the headline rate isn't earned on everything. Check the minimum spend and cap before applying.
