Independence Day is right around the corner, and if the thought of firing up the grill isn't appealing, we've got you covered!
Many national restaurants and stores celebrate the Fourth of July with fantastic food deals — whether you're in the mood for a hearty meal, a sweet treat, or a refreshing drink, there's something for everyone.
These deals are perfect for those who want to enjoy great food and go out to eat more without the hassle of cooking — or worrying about your wallet.
Here’s a roundup of some of the best deals you can enjoy this holiday:
Earn $200 cash rewards bonus with this incredible card
There's a credit card that's making waves with its amazing bonus and benefits. The Wells Fargo Active Cash® Card(Rates and fees) has no annual fee and you can earn $200 after spending $500 in purchases in the first 3 months.
The Active Cash Card puts cash back into your wallet. Cardholders can earn unlimited 2% cash rewards on purchases — easy! That's one of the best cash rewards options available.
This card also offers an intro APR of 0% for 12 months from account opening on purchases and qualifying balance transfers (then 19.74%, 24.74%, or 29.74% Variable). Which is great for someone who wants a break from high interest rates, while still earning rewards.
