I'm looking for a credit card with no annual fee and at least 2% cash back. I may be willing to pay an annual fee if the cash back is higher.
Requirements:
* Independent bank or credit union, not one of the mega-banks.
* Not USAA, they were once good but now they suck.
* Not PenFed, people told me they were once good but it appears to me, from having recently switched to them, that now they suck as well.
Any recommendations?

I’ve recently started looking for something very similar: a no annual fee credit card that gives some cash back and has no foreign transaction fees. So far this is the leading contender:

@EllenJS Wells Fargo is a thoroughly shitty and corrupt bank and I will have nothing to do with them. YMMV.

PNC has a 2% cash back card with no annual fee or foreign transaction fees: https://www.pnc.com/en/personal-banking/banking/credit-cards.html

Thanks for the PNC (and Wells Fargo) info — I’ll take a look.

What’s your issue with USAA?

@EllenJS Their service got progressively worse and worse until finally it was so shitty I couldn't deal with it anymore.
The new CEO claims he's trying to turn things around. I don't know if that's real or just marketing bullshit, and I didn't feel like waiting around to find out.
@jik
I’ve had a USAA credit card for years and years— no issues. We’ve also had an REI credit card for a long time and they keep changing things — that’s what we’re looking to replace.
