Advice on cashback/reward cards?

I have just recieved my new Halifax Clarity card.

I was putting all my spending on the M&S card to get there rewards before this.

So I will only spend £300 on the Clarity card to maximise cashback, my question is I usually spend about another £200pm what card is best for this spend?

do I stick with M&S? as I dont see it in the top cards.

    had a look on the rewards calculator says the
    MBNA Platinum Rewards American Express Card will give £23.92 seems to be the best.

    Do you know if that is the same as the
    MBNA Retail Rewards American Express Card on their website as the link from MSE is down.
  • Similar quest: i'm looking for a decent cash back CC w/out a monthly or annual threshold spend and preferably w/out an annual fee.

    Any such CCs aboot?

    What do you spend a month?

    The Halifax clarity card will give you £5pm if you spend over £300pm (Only if you bank with them) so thats a good place to start.

    As for another card to maximise things, thats where I am just now.

    Excluding household shopping, roughly £200 max per month.

    Unfortunately I got this (not the rewards clarity) before opening a rewards current account. Halifax has said that i'd need to close down my CC account and reapply for the rewards CC. Plus my personal spending is well below the rewards threshold.

    I would just like just a straightforward cash back CC w/out caveats...Barclaycard freedom rewards scheme appeared OK until I realised that there weren't that many places to redeem rewards money. Got a Barclaycard plat. this January to take advantage of their affiliation with Flight Centre for holiday bookings until they dropped them in Feb. :mad:
