5 popular credit cards offering large cashbacks to users

At the time of applying for a credit card, card users typically weigh a number of pros and cons. Some card applicants give a lot of significance to the annual fee charged, while some get too carried away with the merchant discounts that come with the cards. 

Meanwhile, some cards offer a range of cashbacks based on the purchases made via credit card.  For the unversed, cashback is a form of reward system wherein a portion of the money that cardholders spend is returned, typically as a credit on your card account.
