Choosing A Credit Card With Our Information
By Credit Watcher | April 6, 2008
Choosing a credit card with a low standard rate will help to save you money if you can’t be bothered shopping around when the introductory period expires. In addition, if you’ve built up a debt on your existing card then it’s time to consider switching to a credit card also offering a low balance transfer rate. Choosing a loan card company would seem to be a fairly easy decision. You just pick the one with the lowest interest rate, right? Slect the one that works best for you is vital to your credit rating. If you choose the wrong one, you may find yourself in deep financial trouble.
Variable rates are usually tied to another rate such as the prime rate or U.S. For example, Elevations CU’s Visa cards, have a variable rate that is calculated by adding a percentage to the credit union determined base rate and thus may change monthly. Variable interest rates can be very confusing. Some variable rates conceal terms which ensure that your rate will go up steeply over time. Plus you should consider a loan of credit.
Rate changes raise or lower the Finance Charge on your account. The interest rate changes raise or lower the amount of the finance charge you pay on your account. If a credit card has a variable rate feature, the card issuer must tell you the rate may vary and how the rate is determined, including which index is used and what amount (the “margin”) is added to the index to determine your new rate.
Annual fees for credit cards range from $0 to $80.00. When choosing a credit card for balance transfers, be sure to take into account the cost of the annual fee.
A credit card guide to standards is hard to find, read the terms on the back of the forms you sign and consider the small print carefully. Fees are listed in the credit card agreement. These fees can add up. Higher fees, however, can actually be included justifiably in many cases because of the extra services that you’re receiving from the card. For instance, some cards include access to a personal concierge service to help you get reservations for dining, theater, and other events through an exclusive, nationwide, toll-free number. (American Express, for example) is famous for the many extra bonuses that it provides its members).
