Is there any credit card issuer in the NL where I can have some cash back?
Cash back credit/debit cards are such that award customers an occasional rebate equal to a percentage of their purchases. It's not literally "cash" in the sense of physical currency - usually a check or a credit on your account - but it's different from cards that offer rebates in other forms, such as airline miles. Specific examples from the US are Chase Freedom and Quicksilver, which give a 1.5% rebate rate.
I believe you are unlikely to find such cards offered in the Netherlands. The reason is that for a credit card company to offer 1.5% rebate on purchases, those purchases must have a high mark-up to begin with, or alternatively an extra-high fee for credit card use. As the Netherlands is more of a debit-card culture, the former would be rare - you are most likely to find lower markups with no possibility of paying with a credit card at all. When credit cards are allowed, you will likely notice the credit card use fee, and I would think businesses/credit card companies would not be motivated to hike that up further for you to get your "cash back".
Bottom line: You probably won't be using credit cards much anyway, so don't bother.
