What Kind of Credit Cards Are Available and Which Should You Choose?
In recent years, the variety of credit cards has expanded significantly, making it challenging to choose the right one. This guide will help you navigate your options and select the best credit card for your needs.
Cash Back Credit Cards
These cards reward you with a percentage of your purchases as cashback or discounts. Typically, there are two tiers of rewards: higher earnings for specific categories (like dining or travel) at 3% to 6%, and 1% to 3% on everyday purchases such as gas and groceries. Be sure to read the terms to understand how you can redeem your points and the interest rates involved.
Balance Transfer Credit Cards
These cards allow you to transfer existing balances from other cards, often offering a 0% interest rate for an introductory period of up to 15 months. This can lead to significant savings if you manage to pay off the balance without accruing new debt. Watch for transfer fees, though; some cards charge none, while others do. Check how long the introductory rate lasts, as some offer it for the lifetime of the transferred amount.
Air Miles Credit Cards
Earn air miles on your purchases that can be redeemed for flight discounts or free tickets if you accumulate enough points. These points can sometimes be used for store discounts as well. Choose a card linked to airlines operating from your nearest and destination airports for maximum benefit. Bank-issued air miles cards may offer more flexibility.
Student Credit Cards
Student credit cards come in two forms based on credit history. For those without a credit rating, secured cards require a deposit matching the credit limit (or a significant percentage of it). These cards help build credit when payments are made on time. Some offer rewards like points for CDs, DVDs, movie rentals, or fashion. Note that these typically carry higher interest rates.
Choosing the Right Card
To find the best credit card offers, compare fees, interest rates, and introductory periods. Aim for options with 12 to 15 months of introductory offers to maximize savings.
By understanding these options, you can choose a credit card that best suits your financial habits and goals.
