Software and Hardware

Details

Whether you're shopping for computer software, hardware and cloud computing services for your business or personal use, you can rack up big rewards by using the right credit card at checkout. Some cards offer bonus rewards on these purchases, while others include purchase protection and extended warranties (check out our card Benefits section under purchase protection and extended warranty for more details). Vendors include: CDW, Dell, HP, IBM, Intuit, Lenovo, Microsoft, Newegg, Oracle, Rackspace, Sage Software, Salesforce.com, Symantec and Tiger Direct. The (+) versions of these cards have both solid bonuses and category multipliers. Regular versions include other purchases from smaller vendors with matching merchant codes. The (-) versions have limitations you should be aware of.
