 TITLE: 7 Reasons to Get a New Credit Card This New Year CONTENT: 3\\. Step Up Your Cash Back Game\n-------------------------------\nTravel rewards credit cards offer a lot of value, but cash can be a lot more appealing for some during an economic downturn. Thankfully, there are plenty of excellent cash back credit cards on the market.\nThe Chase Freedom Unlimited® will give you 5% cash back on travel booked through Chase, 3% back on dining at restaurants and at drugstores and 1.5% back on everything else. On top of that, you'll get $200 when you spend $500 in the first 3 months.\nAs you consider which card to choose, think about your immediate cash needs, as well as your long-term priorities. If your budget is tight right now, it may make more sense to pick a card with a decent intro offer. But if you don't need a bunch of cash upfront, consider which card will give you the most value in the long run. END
