Credit card reward points (or cash back)‎ : are reward points permissible to enjoy ?

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaikum Sheikh. Firstly, I am using credit cards for my transactions and paying off on time without any interest. I am also planning to move towards using debit card instead of credit card as some people say it is desirable. Please, suggest. Secondly, while using credit cards I have accrued a good amount of reward points, which the credit card company allows me to en-cash. Is it halal to use this, because in my understanding banks profit from interest based business and they are giving me a gift from the money earned through that. Please, clarify if it is Halal / Haram accepting it. Jazak Allah khayr, Hasan
