Whether you're looking for a card that has strong cash back rewards, exciting bonuses, no annual fee, or a lengthy 0% intro APR, it's important to pick the right one that aligns with your spending habits.

To help you make the best, most informed decision, NextAdvisor, a consumer information site that reviews credit cards from all major issuers, picked the top four cash-back cards of 2015
