YOU MUST CHOOSE THE RIGHT CREDIT CARD FOR YOU BY PAT WOOD

You are ready to choose a credit card, but you don't know which
one to choose. Let's break a few of them down to make the choice a
whole lot easier.
The question is which credit cards are right for you. Not all
credit cards are the same. Some have a fixed rate,which simply means the APR doesn't change, or at least not that often.
Most credit cards are open lines of credit, that you can use to make purchases. Most of them are unsecured, while a few
are secured or prepaid. Prepaid credit cards are offered by a lot of major companies and act some what like a debit
card, because you will need to open an account and your credit card will be funded by this account. These are great for people
starting out with little or no credit or rebuilding credit. Low interest rate cards, are ideal for people with good credit
that would like to take advantage of reduced interest rates. Some credit cards have an annual fee, while others do
not. Some earn reward points. Store credit cards work similarly to regular credit cards, except there is no annual fee,
and the card is only good for purchases at that particular store. These store cards are also effective at rebuilding
credit.
You would be surprised at the number of people who don't bother to
compare credit cards before applying for them. You should compare the different features, different benefits, and details
of various credit cards. Find, compare, and read reviews before you decide. You wouldn't buy a car without comparing
details or benefits, and you never buy a house without looking at several first. Just apply these same principles to credit
cards.
Credit cards are convenient for customers and can be beneficial if
used correctly. They are the perfect way to finance larger purchases while earning points for the things you buy everyday.
Just shop around first, and get the right credit card for you.
