Can a credit card save you $100 on one purchase?

There are credit cards out there - particularly those offering a $100 cash back bonus when you spend $500 within the first three months - that can save you at least $100 on just one purchase. Granted, you generally need good-to-excellent credit to get approved for such a card, but if you can there's an opportunity to put a big dent in the cost of that big-ticket item you've been saving up for.

This puts this BankAmericard in line with most $100 cash back credit cards, but it's the one, two and three percent cash back structure each quarter that really sets this card apart from others.
