PerkStreet Financial Doubles their Debit Card Rewards to 2%
PerkStreet Doubles their Cash Back Debit Card Rewards Program
As of this week, PerkStreet Financial is now doubling the base rewards for non-PIN based transactions to 2% (from 1% previously). You will get 2% cash back on these transactions when your balance is $5,000 or more. If your balance is under $5,000, you will go back to 1% cash back. Not only is this unheard of amongst debit card rewards programs, but there are very few, if any, credit card providers that TRULY will give you a 2% cash back reward as a base.
What is PerkStreet Financial? A Free Checking Account with a Debit MasterCard® with Cashback Rewards
I had previously written a PerkStreet Financial review and claimed that PerkStreet was the go-to debit card rewards program around at the time. Well, they have gone and one-upped themselves with their latest cash back rewards incentives. If you are looking for a debit card with the best rewards program, to avoid annual fees on credit cards, or to simply protect yourself from spending money that you don’t have by using a debit instead of a credit card, I don’t have a better recommendation.
5% Debit Card Cash Back Rewards
Also, PerkStreet is now offering 5% cash back for the rest of June and July when you:
- purchase ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s, Culver’s, Dairy Queen and Cold Stone Creamery
- make home improvement purchases at Lowe’s, Home Depot and Menard’s
- buy gas by paying at the pump
If you are taking any big summer road trips or doing any major projects around the house, this would be a huge opportunity to take some of that money back.
They will announce other seasonal opportunities to earn up to 5% throughout the year.

Thumbs Up
Until I see a better offer, PerkStreet Financial gets my thumbs up for being the best debit cards reward program in the country. Considering that I haven’t seen one with over 0.5% cash rewards, that might be a while.
