How to earn the most at Dick's Sporting Goods
Many everyday purchases do not fall into any bonus category, and Dick's Sporting Goods often lands in this everything-else bucket. Superstores and general retailers, for instance, commonly code as general merchandise rather than as groceries or another bonus category, even when they sell food and household goods. When Dick's Sporting Goods codes this way, most cards pay only their base everyday rate, so the winner at Dick's Sporting Goods is usually whichever card in your wallet has the highest flat rate rather than a specialized category card.
Choosing a card for Dick's Sporting Goods is simpler here than in bonus categories: look for your strongest flat everyday rate. This is exactly why a good flat-rate card belongs in every wallet, since it quietly outperforms category cards anywhere the bonus does not apply, including Dick's Sporting Goods. If Dick's Sporting Goods occasionally runs a co-branded card or a targeted offer, that can change the math, so it is worth a look. Rates change over time, so the ranking above is built from current data rather than a permanent answer.
Dick's Sporting Goods cashback FAQ
Does Dick's Sporting Goods do cash back?
The cash back you control at Dick's Sporting Goods comes from how you pay, not from the store. Right now the top card earns 2% back there (Citi Double Cash® Card), and paying with the right card works alongside any Dick's Sporting Goods loyalty program or promotion you already use.
What is the best credit card to use at Dick's Sporting Goods?
Citi Double Cash® Card tops the list for Dick's Sporting Goods, earning 2% here (2% base (everything else)). But the best card is whichever one in your own wallet earns the most on everything else, which is exactly what CashCatch checks for you in a tap.
Does Dick's Sporting Goods have its own credit card?
Yes — the DICK'S Credit Card. Issued by Synchrony Bank and integrated with the ScoreCard Rewards loyalty program; also offered as a DICK'S Mastercard usable anywhere. (The program was relaunched from the older ScoreCard-branded card.) It earns rewards mainly at Dick's Sporting Goods and its partners, so it is worth weighing against the cards ranked above, which earn wherever you shop.
Why doesn't my category card earn a bonus at Dick's Sporting Goods?
If Dick's Sporting Goods codes as a general retailer, category cards for groceries, dining, or gas simply do not match, so they pay their base rate. The card is working as intended; the purchase just falls outside its bonus. This is where a flat everyday card usually earns more, because it pays the same rate regardless of how Dick's Sporting Goods codes.
Does a superstore like Dick's Sporting Goods count as a grocery store?
Usually not. Large general retailers tend to code as general merchandise rather than as supermarkets, even when a big part of the basket is food, so grocery bonuses often do not apply at Dick's Sporting Goods. A flat everyday card commonly earns more there than a grocery card. Your statement shows the category Dick's Sporting Goods used if you want to confirm.
