They can redeem their cash back for Amazon.com purchases.</p><h2>Best for Apple TV+: <a href="https://www.apple.com/apple-card/">Apple Card</a></h2><p><strong>Streaming service earning:</strong> This relative newcomer earns 3% back on Apple purchases including items from iTunes, the App Store, and subscriptions to Apple Music and Apple TV+. Cash back is earned in the form of Daily Cash, which you can use to pay for purchases via Apple Pay.</p><p><strong>Sign-up bonus:</strong> None</p><p><strong>Annual fee:</strong> $0</p><p><strong>Other benefits:</strong> The card earns 3% back on Uber, UberEATS, at Walgreens and Duane Reade, in T-Mobile stores and at Nike, then 2% cash back on Apple Pay purchases and 1% on everything else. Even more interesting, the card does not charge over-the-limit or late fees, which should give some consumers a little bit of extra breathing room.</p><h2>Some cards offer bonus rewards on internet, too</h2><p>If you're thinking of upgrading your internet service or simply want to earn rewards on that expense too, keep in mind that several <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/best-small-business-credit-card">business credit cards</a> offer bonus points on this category.
