Luckily, there are many lucrative credit cards that have no annual fee, but still offer rewards for cardmembers. Here are the best no annual fee credit cards currently on the market.

From there, you can either keep it in your Fidelity account, or transfer it to another bank account of your choice. Of all the cards we've examined, we feel that this card has the best cash back bonus for the least amount of hassle.

Chase Freedom Card - 5% cash back in rotating categories

The Chase Freedom card is featured on quite a few of our "best of" lists, and that's because it features a rotating 5% cachback on a rotating set of quarterly categories.

Keep in mind, this 5% cash back is limited to $1,500 per quarter; after that, it drops to just 1% cash back per dollar. If you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred or Reserve Card, you can increase your bonus by transferring your cash back into Ultimate Rewards points at a 1 cent per point ratio, which you can use for transferring to travel partners like Hyatt and United. There's no annual fee. To learn more about Ultimate Rewards points, click here.
