The Hidden Cost of Credit Card Rewards

Those travel points and miles look great, until you realize you're paying $500 a year in annual fees, or worse, 25% interest if you miss a payment. The banks aren't giving you money for free; they're betting on you slipping up.

Debit-Style Freedom, Premium Rewards

SparkWallet works with your money. You deposit funds, you spend them, you get rewarded. No debt, no interest charges, no credit checks. It's the financial discipline of a debit card with rewards that beat the most exclusive credit cards.

Instant Gratification

Credit card points often take a month to post. SparkWallet cashback is instant. You buy a coffee, you get your cashback right then and there. It's rewarding you in real-time.
